How to open terminal/shell session via server request

[ORESoftware]

I can open up bash and type commands from my local terminal into a remote bash process like so:

const net = require('net');
const cp = require('child_process');

const server = net.createServer(s => {

  const bash = cp.spawn('bash');
  s.pipe(bash.stdin, {end:false});
  bash.stdout.pipe(s);
  bash.stderr.pipe(s);


});

server.listen('4004');

but the problem is, I don't get prompts like this:

<hostname>:<basename> <user> $`

I just get blank space which I can type into which is different than a terminal

I am still looking for answers to this, I updated the question with a bounty here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56174957/open-up-shell-on-server-via-http-request/56175507

I ran bash with output as console and with output redirecting to a file. In the former case, the bash itself prints the necessary eye-catcher text, but in later, it does not.

So it looks like in our case we won't have it coming from bash.

[gireeshpunathil]

in either way, can you try forcing interactive flag ? cp.spawn('bash', ['-i']);

I am not sure whether it will have any other side effect on other parts of its execution though

@ORESoftware - is this resolved?
