# Example page with embedded Shell In A Box.
#
On this page we can see how Shell In A Box can be embedded in another page and
how can we comunicate with it.
##
# Server Side
#
For communication with Shell In A Box we need to set '-m' (messages-origin)
command line option with appropriate messages origin. Origin should be set to
URL of parent (this) window. If origin is set to '*' Shell In A Box won't checki
origin on received messages. This is usually unsafe option.
Command line example:
shellinaboxd -p 4200 -m 'https://192.168.1.150'
##
# Client Side
#
Shell In A Box accepts messages formated as JSON strings with 'type' and 'data'
fields. Messages with same format can be passed back to parent (this) window.
Message example:
var message = JSON.stringify({
type : "message type",
data : "additional data"
});
Messages are passed with function postMessage() and are received in "message"
events.
Following types of message can be sent to shellinabox:
input - writes content of data field to terminal
output - enables passing of output to parent window (data field must be set
to enable, disable or toggle)
session - request sessions status
Following types of messages can be received from shellinabox:
output - data field contains terminal output
session - data field contains session status (active or closed)
Example for passing command to Shell In A Box frame:
iframe.contentWindow.postMessage(JSON.stringify({
type : "input",
data : "ls -l\n"
}), "https://192.168.1.150:4200");
Please note that message passing and JSON operations are only supported on moderen
browsers.
