Telnet capability?
Has anyone ever explored adding telnet capability? http://localhost:222/telnet/...
I've thought about it, and it seems like it would be possible... The one trick is authentication SSO, since telnet is pretty much free-form and you have to "expect" user and password and detect failures. There's not a standard around this so the solution would need to be flexible to account for differences in systems.
This project seems promising for the node telnet-client. The front-end wouldn't need to change much, if at all.

Thanks for the link. That does look promising. I'll take a deeper look. It just seemed that based on the URL pattern (http://localhost:222/ssh/...) for web2ssh2 adding telnet would be a natural extension.
Totally agree, and it looks like some of the logic for dealing with logging in, is handled by that project.
Would love to see Telnet added. We would like to use this for managing network infrastructure and whilst SSH is the mainstay for networked connectivity, no-net connectivity via a terminal server and reverse telnet still seems to be the most common mode of access.
telnet could be added and not to worry about authentication. I think just opening session and provide user with the login prompt would be sufficent
