HTML5 WebSocket rewriting
I am able to connect to the HTML5 Gateway using a VS configured with a Pool containing the HTML5 Gateway. This however is just a work around, as I am still not rewriting the websocket connection, so this workaround is not actually a real solution.
I foresee this possible workaround working by using my VS with the pooled address of the HTML5 gateway added. I found some sort of bug, or unexpected behavior when i did the following.
Connected to my HTML5 Gatway using the VS with the Pool: https://192.168.220.204:9001. This connects me directly to the Gateway. I authenticate, and then start my HTML5 session, the session successfully works. I then disconnect the session.
Only after doing this. I then log into my VS (https://192.168.220.204:443) that has my webtop and portal access link to the Internal HTML5 Gateway server. I login, start the HTML5 session and I am able to successfully connect to my target using my HTML5 rdp link on the HTML5 gateway. At this point though, the websocket is technically not rewritten, but it somehow used the websocket connection used by the previous connection to the VS Pool address.
Image below:
This image shows the working connection, but the portal access link was not configured in a way to use this 192.168.210.204:9001 VS Pool address. But perhaps as a workaround it might be possible to build a portal access link in a way where it makes first a TCP connection to the gateway and then add a wss resource??? I don't know if this is at all possible, and none of the configurations I have tried worked, but it might be an idea to try. Just to clarify, this is not actually a rewritten websocket, it is just a bug.
