Looking for a web-based telnet client that I can slam into a static file and serve from a basic http server; does anything like that exist?

My initial searches all contain things like docker containers and node.js and I want to do it all from the browser. Seems maybe impossible but idk websockets or some shit?

This works, but it's more back-end than what I wanted.

It will do for now, but now I have to go fight with SSL certificates and the like...

@requiem A problem is that telnet sockets are generally verboten to web clients, especially cross-domain. They all pretty much require some server-side component on the same domain to proxy from websockets to telnet

@lmorchard yeah I figured the bubblewrap brigade had ruined the fun, but I thought I’d ask around just in case 😁

@requiem Used to be able to do it with Java or Flash applets, but those were abominations.
