Combines term.js with a Go websocket backend to get something much less complicated to deploy than tty.js.

It's a bit raw at the moment.

go get github.com/gorilla/websocket
go get github.com/codenvy/pty
git clone https://github.com/codenvy/websocket-terminal.git
cd websocket-terminal
go build
./websocket-terminal -cmd /bin/bash -addr :9000

• does not support non-ASCII/Latin1 characters at all
• horribly insecure
• probably slow

The Go server and the javascript in index.html are currently using base64 encoding for data moving across the wire. The websocket is using text messages as well as a result.

This is quite fragile since any utf characters outside of Latin1 will cause errors. I've tested it and Japanese kana certainly break things, but for the most part shell tools seem to work.

term.js needs to be refactored to use ArrayBuffers with a Uint8Array view and some kind of character decoding from utf8 -> utf16 since almost all POSIX systems use utf8 and javascript strings are utf16. This will almost certainly be faster too.
