Want HTTP java client to tunnel VNC

Post by adrian.stephens »

I'd like to be able to connect to VNC from a client (such as a cybercafe) that doesn't allow software downloads using port 80. The target VNC servers are behind a NAT/firewall.

This requires the applet to have a mode of operation that tunnels the VNC protocol inside HTTP.

Is this possible?

The current HTTP mode of operation allows routing of the HTTP
through a firewall, through apache configured as a transparent proxy to route <host>/vnc/<machine>:80 to <machine>:5800, so I can pick up the java applet OK. But then there's no way that the java applet can connect to port 5900 behind the firewall.

I can tunnel using SSH (which is what I currently do) or httunnel from my own machines, but not from machines over which I have no rights to install software.

You could try using http://www.nocrew.org/software/httptunnel.html

I don't believe it requires any installation, just run it with the proper command line.
