xrx

X Remote eXecution

The remote execution (RX) service specifies a MIME format for invoking applications remotely, for example via a World Wide Web browser. This RX format specifies a syntax for listing network services required by the application, for example an X display server. The requesting Web browser must identify specific instances of the services in the request to invoke the application. The distribution contains a helper program (xrx) and a Mozilla family browser plug-in (libxrx) that demonstrate this protocol. The plug-in was originally written for Navigator 3.0, but has been used with later versions of the Mozilla family of browsers, including Firefox.
