Many challenges exist for supporting computing devices over a network where the computing devices are incompatible with one another. Instead of providing a native remote desktop protocol (RDP) client for each device, RDP client functionality may be provided by a cross-platform scripting language client or agent. A cross-platform scripting language client of an RDP client transcodes any received RDP-compatible packets to a format supported by a cross-platform or standards-based web browser of the RDP client.
