Translating WebUSB Into USB/IP Wire Packets

Executive summary

The clean way to think about this bridge is not “WebUSB emits USB/IP.” The practical model is: your bridge acts as a USB/IP server, the Linux side acts as the normal USB/IP client, and every incoming USB/IP request is executed against a real device through WebUSB, then answered with the corresponding USB/IP reply. In other words, the Linux side remains authoritative for URB submission order and sequencing; the browser side is an execution engine plus descriptor source. USB/IP itself uses a short discovery/import phase (OP_REQ_DEVLIST/OP_REP_DEVLIST, OP_REQ_IMPORT/OP_REP_IMPORT) followed by a persistent URB channel carrying USBIP_CMD_SUBMIT, USBIP_RET_SUBMIT, USBIP_CMD_UNLINK, and USBIP_RET_UNLINK. All integer fields in the USB/IP protocol are in network byte order. citeturn10search0turn4view0turn5view0

HTTP Filesystem Protocol Specification

Overview

The HTTP Filesystem Protocol provides a RESTful interface for performing POSIX-like filesystem operations over HTTP. It enables hierarchical file and directory manipulation using standard HTTP methods with filesystem-specific metadata encoded in HTTP headers.
