Fail to connect with Opera 10.60 (Xtightvnc 1.3.9, Python 2.6.5) about novnc HOT 2 CLOSED

I should probably note in the README that right now I'm only testing on firefox and Chrome (under Linux).

Opera doesn't have native support for WebSockets yet so the code falls back to using a flash WebSockets emulator. The same is true in firefox. However, unlike firefox, the WebSockets emulator doesn't seem to work properly in Opera. With Opera 10.10, it starts off working and then drops almost 40% of all packets. With Opera 10.60, it's even worse, after the "Starting VNC handshake" status is posted, a Javascript error is throw ("Error: WRONG_ARGUMENTS_ERR). So Opera 10.60 is even worse.

I'm not sure where the error exists. It could be Opera itself, or in Flash, or in the Javascript/Flash bridge (FABridge). Wherever the problem is, it doesn't happen under firefox.

I can't guarantee I'll be able to spend much time debugging Opera issue soon. I just pushed a modification that enables better debug output under Opera.

• Add "#debug" to the end of the URL.
• Run the DragonFly debugger (Ctrl-Shift-I). Go to the "Error Console".

You should see debug output there.

The WRONG_ARGUMENTS_ERR has been fixed (commit 35f5b11) by pulling in the latest web-socket-js code.

However, note that this problem http://github.com/gimite/web-socket-js/issues#issue/17 causes frames to be dropped in Opera. So the rendering will start but eventually you will hit a packet drop and the client won't be able to recover.

I'll close this issue and file another to track the web-socket-js issue.
