When I open the chrome network console, it shows a bunch of websocket frames being passed in the clear over an apparently unencrypted ws:// socket, with a "screen" json entry containing the most of, or the whole, session.

Very pretty rendering, but where's the SSH protocol bit?

Anyways I would be very wary of trusting any http-delivered ssh client code (javascript), and even https is sketchy with all the CA break-ins of late.

I'm sure this could be useful outside of a normal web browser context though! (embedded UIWebViews, for example?)
