Documentation required for wstelnet.html page

[mathuin]

When I open wstelnet.html in my browser and enter in a host and port and click connect, nothing happens. I'm pretty sure I need to run something locally, but I can't find any details in the documentation. I saw that a connection attempt was made to localhost:17523 from include/websock.js but I don't know what that's about or how to handle that.

Could you please update the documentation with whatever command needs to be executed on localhost for the wstelnet.html example to work as written? Thanks!

I'm having the same issue. I want to test this out and the telnet page seems like the simplest example, but I don't know what I need to do to get it to work. I've tried running a few commands on my machine but none of them seem to work.

@mathuin @mikecoin The websockify README has a description of launching a wrapped telnetd in the "Wrap a Program" which wstelnet.html should be able to connect to.

Actually, the reason I opened the ticket was because the description of launching a wrapped telnetd was not enough for me to figure it out -- and it appears that @mikecoin is experiencing the same issue.

Could you please update the documentation with the specific command that needs to be executed on localhost for the wstelnet.html example to work as written? Thanks!

I've corrected the part that is incorrect (since websockify is now also a module, the program name is actually ./run if you are running it from the repo). I've tested it and it works (make sure you have a krb5-telnetd installed and have rebind.so built).

Thank you! That was exactly what I needed. I really appreciate it. :-)
