Huh. Does anybody know what the good clients use as a transport? E.g., are they UDP-based? A quick skim of the docs suggests that this only uses HTTP and Websockets, which I understand are TCP-based. The only browser thing I know of does an unreliable transport is WebRTC, but that currently isn't supported: https://glyptodon.org/jira/browse/GUAC-815

You http to the quacamole server, that server runs quacd that handles vnc, rdp to the desktop you want to reach. It's a proxy essentially.

ScreenCat (https://github.com/maxogden/screencat) is using WebRTC, but it is currently Mac-only.
