Charlie,
I don't know about VNC but we do exactly this using GoToMyPC.

Subject: Remote Demos Using
Standalone Java

Hi,
I wondered basically if it was possible to use the Java based viewer for
VNC in the following
scenario (or equivalent).
We often have to do browser-based demos to remote clients. These usually
involve a phone
conversation and having the client sign into a secure area of our website
on their browser and
then talking them through moving through a sequence of pages (and trying to
guess exactly
where they are!).
Essentially we would like to be able to tell our remote client to go
directly to a web address
(essentially a VNC server I guess that we'd set up) that they could view a
demo on (we'd
control the demo on the VNC server here - the client would just sit and
watch).
This solution would need the following characteristics:
1) our client would have to be able to just go straight to a URL
which would run the java viewer as an applet in a browser (i.e. we
cannot ask the client to install the whole of WinVNC including the
Java viewer) pointing to our WinVNC server.
2) the WinVNC server here would have to communicate with our
remote client running the java applet over port 80 as these
are the only ways of getting behind the kind of corporate firewalls
that our
clients usually have (this rules out stuff like Netmeeting etc).
Is this possible? We have looked at a java based system that allows desktop
sharing that is
hosted by Webex who also run conferencing servers but it is quite expensive
with a monthly
charge so wanted to check out a few other routes. Happy to work out some
commercial
arrangement with someone if the solution is of some magnitude.
We control the firewall at this end so I'd have no problem configuring
access on whatever port
at this end with the VNC server - as long as the client is connecting on
port 80 ...
Regards,
Charles
