HTTPVNC is a remote desktop server intended to be both powerful and without the need to install special software on the client. While version 0.x started out with a sole Java client, the current version 1.x is a complete rewrite of the software that provides the following features:
- Superfast and SSL secured C-based server component using one TCP port only
- Persistent, shareable TightVNC sessions
- modified Xvnc server uses FVWM because of its small footprint, other display managers may be added in the future
- printing support over RSS feeds
- both HTML5 and Java clients are automatically served when a session is opened
