Can I share a screen with a headless browser using getScreenMedia?

[snoblenet]

I want to run a headless browser on the server within my Rails app. I want so share that browser's session with a web page in my app that users access through an iFrame in another web page in my app.

So for example:

• If a user clicked on a button in that iFrame, then the headless browser would click on the corresponding button in its browsing session.
• If the page updated within the headless browser's session, then the page within the iFrame would update in the same way.

I'm wondering if I might be able to achieve this using this. However, I'm guessing this would involve me embarking on a lengthy process of development, so before I dig too far into this potential rabbit warren, can I ask: is something like this even possible?

If a user clicked on a button in that iFrame, then the headless browser would click on the corresponding button in its browsing session.

At the very least this would not work. getScreenMedia captures a screen/window of the host "computer" and shares it with peers via video. So users will not see an "iframe" of content, just a video of it, so there are no buttons to click on, etc.

I'd say the overall thing you're trying to achieve is doable to some extent with varying different approaches, but I'm not sure that webrtc is necessarily the solution you are looking for. And without knowing why I couldn't say that any approach would necessarily be worth it :)
