shell noVNC terminal ($TERM) emulation setting(s)

[hvisage]

Good day,

What is the exact terminal emulation used by the noVNC shell (for a proxmox hypervisor node)?
The problem: I'm using iterm2-shell-integrations, but those cause very long lines that should be coloured etc. when using a (true) xterm emulation, but isn't as it seems the terminal emulator used by the noVNC doesn't interpret those escape sequences.

so my question(s):
0) what is the exact terminal emulation provided by the noVNC shell terminal?
1) any where I could change that $TERM setting for the noVNC shell terminal?
2) Any way I could (reliably?) detect the noVNC shell terminal to disable those integrations in the .profile?

for the host shell we use our own implemenation vncterm (see https://git.proxmox.com/?p=vncterm.git;a=summary )
we try to be xterm compatible, but there are probably some things that don't work

can you post the exact escape sequence which does not work?
you can of course simply do an export=<TERMINAL> for e.g. vt220

in general, i would recommend using ssh for serious work on the host, instead of novnc

... goes WITHOUT saying
(And the reason I'm using iTerm2 on MacOSX :grin: )

I't just when I'm on the webUI, need to check something quickly, it's an easy test/etc.

you can of course simply do an export=<TERMINAL> for e.g. vt220

I'd like have that set *before* it executes my .profile, as I need to test/know how to disable those by knowing that I'm inside the vncterm, and not an iterm2
