### Server Requirements
Unless you are using a VNC server with support for WebSockets
connections (
only my
[
fork of libvncserver
](
http://github.com/kanaka/libvncserver
)
currently),
you need to use a WebSockets to TCP socket proxy. There is
connections (
such as
[
x11vnc/libvncserver
](
http://libvncserver.sourceforge.net/
)
),
you need to use a WebSockets to TCP socket proxy. There is
a python proxy included ('websockify'). One advantage of using the
proxy is that it has builtin support for SSL/TLS encryption (i.e.
"wss://").
There a few reasons why a proxy is required:
1.
WebSockets is not a pure socket protocol. There is an initial HTTP
like handshake to allow easy hand-off by web servers and allow
some origin policy exchange. Also, each WebSockets frame begins
with 0 ('
\x
00') and ends with 255 ('
\x
ff').
2.
Javascript itself does not have the ability to handle pure byte
arrays. The python proxy encodes the data as base64 so that the
Javascript client can decode the data as an integer array.
