RFB protocol

I've been drawing up my wish list for RFB for some time now. 

Here's the current draft:
http://www.evilsecurity.com/vnc/ 

Modified in May to flesh out the comms channel to take in comments
regarding "not just serial - anything, firewire, USB, etc.". 

Look at the bottom of the page for the PDF file. 

I've only got the encodings to document. Very willing for any help to
finally finish it - I'm in Sydney at the moment, and on the back end of
a 33 kb/s modem line in a hotel. 

Andrew

The problem is not implementing the option.
Just a few changes on server and client site.
But changing the client, is loosing compatibility...
Rewriting the client for all platforms.

The resizing stuff was implemented in the old Single shared application
code.  Resizing the application sends an rfb messages to the client....
(Application or desktop...internal it is just the same code)
Because a special client was needed, I left the idea ...

Unless the majority of developpers agree to implement this option,
it stays a part of the wishlist.

Perhaps we can start a discussion in a whishlist thread and try
to make a priority list....keeping in mind that all have to be cross
platform
and technical possible.

Greetings
Rudi

Are there any plans to update the RFB protocol support things like
resoloution and colour depth switching?  And other limitiations of the
current system?

It's quite annoying when a app changes the desktop resolution, and VNC
dumps out.
