[jira] [Comment Edited] (GUACAMOLE-522) Support for WebUSB
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-522?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16390219#comment-16390219 ]

We should definitely do this. I personally do not have much subject level knowledge on the WebUSB API and the internals of USB, but I expect first steps here would be to begin outlining the nature of this support and any necessary protocol changes.
As an aside, it's interesting that things like audio input and USB are increasingly well-supported by browsers, while things like an actually useful clipboard API and permission scheme remain the holy grail.

> Priority: Minor

> The WebUSB API is out and starting to get some cross-browser adoption, but, not surprisingly, being led by Chrome. It would be really interesting to add this capability to Guacamole - the ability to pass through supported USB devices from the browser to the remote system. Should be possible with RDP, and also maybe with SSH using sockets?
> Anyway, throwing this out there on the list.
