Yes or no. EdgeView uses WebSocket (The Websocket Protocol) for bidirectional communication between the client and server. The HTTP protocol needs to be upgraded between the websocket client and server. If the proxy server is a 'pass-through' type for the HTTPs traffic from the device, in other words if the proxy server does not intercept the TLS, then the EdgeView will work through the proxy server. But if the proxy server is a 'MiTM' type or 'SSL-Bump' type, the proxy server needs to make a separate HTTPs connection to the DIspatcher and it may not request the 'Upgrade' service towards the Dispatcher, then the EdgeView will break since it can not establish the connection to the Dispatcher. This is mainly an proxy server software implementation issue.
14) How to log into a remote application
Before the user tries to log into the application, some application related information needs to be gathered, for instance the VNC port number, application IP address and service port numbers. Edgeview 'tcp' command can be entered for different cases. For VNC, it will be 'tcp/localhost:<590x>' which the 'x' is the VNC display number for the application. Then launch a VNC client application on the laptop with "localhost:9001' as the VNC server endpoint; for SSH (assume the application has the SSH daemon running), the command will be 'tcp/<application-intf-ip>:22'. Then open another terminal window, and issue e.g. "ssh username@localhost -i 9001". In both examples, we assume the local port for TCP is 9001.
