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
