You seem to be acting as a proxy and so I am sending all my passwords to your site so you login on my behalf.

I guess the better approach would have been to load the website on client end and only send the DOM to your server OR the other client directly.

We've considered that, but if you want to share everything that is being shown, you will also need be able to have access to that as well.

If you do it purely through some sort of script include, you will not be able to hook into 3rd party widgets for example and there are more things that are problematic.

Yes, I understand there would be issues on sending passworded resources that are linked within the page. In my case, you would have to recursively send all the resources of the current page to the other client.

Good work though!

Also, because you are acting like a proxy AJAX based DOMs seem to cause errors?
We take this into account, we sandbox the website in such a way that AJAX request will work properly.
Sweet! I'm loving this site.
