[jira] [Commented] (GUACAMOLE-241) The necessity of using base64

["Jonas Zeiger (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-241?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16674977#comment-16674977 ] 

Jonas Zeiger commented on GUACAMOLE-241:
----------------------------------------

I also wondered about why there is no use of UInt8Array, Blob and {{URL.createObjectURL(}}) in Guacamoles "img", "png" and "jpeg" handlers.

 

The creator of this issue ( wangxh ) followed up in the mailling list: [http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/guacamole-dev/201704.mbox/%3ctencent_456E25B567990E2247775EE4@qq.com%3e]

 

The summary (as of 2017):

There are performance issues with Blobs and {{URL.createObjectURL(}}).

"Base64 is definitely still the way to go."

> I would like to do some further work by guacamole. But what made me confused is the communication between web application and guacamole server. Would you tell me why in this communication using base64 is a reasonable choice. Thank you very much!
