I saw that there were patches to the vnc server (a long time ago) that
enabled ssl encryption. Does that still work?
What I envision is being able to access a vnc server from a web browser
using ssl (i.e. type https://my.vncserver.com:5800/). Is this
possible? Or is there a way to wrap the vncserver with a ssl "tunnelling"
program? I am considering this for a Linux box running apache and open_ssl.
TIA,
