Ok so be it, but surely your handset's browser has ssl support and that is
all you need. Midp2.0 would let you do it as an iappli but with your
browser it's still every bit as doable.
Basically as I said, all you need is a servlet engine (like Tomcat)
configured to handle ssl (easy enough), and a simple servlet to pass along
the parameters (ie passphase, command, arguements) to ant which uses ssh.
The output will be passed back to the servlet and written out to be
displayed on your handset You could even run executables or do what not on
a windows box this way.
The big weakness here is that you would not have arrow keys to scroll
through previous commands
However if you wanted, you could have the servlet do things like:
-keep a record of your commands and/or write them out to your handset so
you could just copy and paste (and maybe modify if desired into the input
box when you use them again)
-make a log of all commands done is a session this way.
-send email notification to you whenever a session is started this way
-offer a way to kill/disable the servlet if you get email notification
that a session started but you didn't start one
If you need help, contact me offlist. I don't usually work for beer or
peanuts but actually since I only have a Sun web dev certification and not
so much "production" environment experience, maybe I would if you throw in
a letter or recommendation somewhere along the lines of "...solved a
longstanding limitation...".
