The X Protocol, an asynchronous network protocol, was developed at MIT amid the need to provide a network transparent graphical user interface primarily for the UNIX Operating System. Current examples of Open Source implementations of the X server, require specific software to be downloaded and installed on the end-user’s workstation. To avoid this and other issues involved in the conventional X setup, this paper proposes a new solution by defining a protocol bridge that translates the conventional X Protocol to an HTTP-based one. This approach makes an X application accessible from any web browser. With the goal of leveraging the enormous browser install base, the web-based X server supports multiple web browsers and has been tested to support a number of X clients.
