       Hi,

we are pleased to announce HttpTunnel4vnc. 

HttpTunnel4vnc provides tunneling of VNC-sessions through HTTP.



An extraction of the main page:

* Our main goal was to provide a solution that works with a wide range
  of firewalls and proxies and requires minimal fuss on the client
  side.

* HttpTunnel4vnc requires no signed applets, no reconfiguration of
  firewalls; proxy settings of browsers are used transparently.

* HttpTunnel4vnc uses only vanilla HTTP GET and PUT requests (no fancy
  CONNECTs), this should work even with the dumbest browsers.

* Tunneling introduces quite a bit of overhead: but performance is
  still very acceptable.

* HttpTunnel4vnc supports persistent (keep-alive) connections and HTTP
  pipelining. Unfortunately, few browsers, and even fewer proxies,
  take advantage of these features.

* HttpTunnel4vnc can be configured to work transparently behind
  Apache. This way, you can use the all import port 80 for VNC and
  other applications. Thus HttpTunnel4vnc can also be configured to
  provide virtual multi-session support (multiple VNC servers on port
  80 are possible).
