What browser-based technology would allow me to query the client's currently connected USB devices - specifically name and device id of these. Of course, I'm ok with the client having to allow and confirm such an activity.
I don't care if at low-level, it uses WMI, direct access or some other sort of access layer, all I want is to be able to use it from within a browser. I'd appreciate code samples and I'd be extra happy with a browser-independent solution.
You will need to write yourself a plugin for this.
