Web client / server

[imsnif]

We should create a web-server embedded in Zellij (possibly behind a compile time flag) that would serve a web-client so that we can open new sessions in a browser or connect to existing sessions shared with terminal clients.

Sounds intriguing. How the interaction with zellij session would look like? :)

From #2291 PR it seems this is keeping you busy. Our of curiosity, are you using something like ttyd?

This would be aewsome, but keep in mind that borwsers have their own set of builtin key-bindings that might break the user experience. I'll be happy to help test whatever funcitonality you come up with.

I ran this ticket through the Arty AI security bot to check against ISO27110. here is an interesting feedback from the AI:

• Implement Access Control mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can open or connect to sessions.
  • Develop Session Management features to manage user sessions securely with timeout and re-authentication requirements.
  • Incorporate Encryption for data in transit between the web client and the web-server to protect data from interception.
  • Implement Audit Logging to capture access and usage logs for security monitoring and incident response.
  • Design Authentication mechanisms to verify user identities securely when accessing the web client.
  • Ensure Data Integrity measures are in place for transmitted data to protect it from unauthorized alterations.
  • Implement Boundary Protection to control the information flow and protect the web-server from unauthorized access and threats.
  • Utilize Secure Coding Practices to prevent vulnerabilities such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and SQL Injection.
  • Establish Configuration Management processes for the secure setup and maintenance of the web-server.
