Upstream noVNC defaults to connecting on the http port instead
of port 5900 and it would be nice if that would just work.
- If run with -enablehttpproxy allow http connection to be
upgraded to websockets.
- Also exports the new rfbNewWebSocketsClient() function in case
anybody is using a custom webserver implementation in their
application, instead of the libvncserver one, and also wants
libvcnserver to handle the websockets connection.
You need to feed it the http request headers that were
already read from the socket by the webserver.
To test (on Debian or its derivates):
==
sudo apt install novnc
sudo ln -sf vnc_lite.html /usr/share/novnc/index.vnc
sudo x11vnc -httpport 80 -enablehttpproxy \
-httpdir /usr/share/novnc -no6 -xkb -repeat -auth guess \
-display WAIT:0 -forever -shared
==
Go with web browser to IP, and it should work without having to
patch novnc or change settings.

A lot of changes to the guts, this will need a lot of testing for regressions. |

Any progress on it? |
