Does anybody here have experience using this? It looks like it could potentially solve an issue for me bridging access to USB and TCP-accessible devices from a cross-platform browser-based app, while giving a relatively easy way to get the software installed on them. On the other hand, will this turn out to be the DirectX of the future (ugh). Would love to hear some personal anecdotes from someone who was tried it out.
Thanks for the reply. If it's limited to what JS can do it certainly won't do what I need. Also just noticed I wrote "DirectX" instead of "ActiveX" in my previous post, oops.
this is what is missing in all modern browsers, browser is envisioned from start as a client and therefore not able to access such things. But i agree there sholud be browser with JS and all that with capabilities of server behaviour.
maybe next gen of browsers will have that. allthou it could brake the concept of thin clients.
