Remote Desktop Solution that works over/through HTTP Proxy?



Does anyone know of a remote desktop app that will work over HTTP? I'm stuf behind a HTTP proxy, and on a windows 2000 pc, and I want to access my mac at home...



On the windows side, there is Remotely Anywhere which has a java based interface that works over HTTP, and a screenshot based interface that acts like a web page and when you click the picture it sends the mouse click for those screen coordinates.



I'm looking for something similar or some other work around... Thanks

    I don't see how this program will work for him since he's already behind a proxy server. I never used it so I could be wrong but an alternative could be

    I also had the same problem few weeks ago. I developed my own java web application that acts as the server (deployed on jboss) and a client program behind the http proxy that uses http requests to do all stuff (mouse gestures, keypresses, releases, drags and moves). I have now got a fully working remote desktop that i can access my laptop at home.



    If you are interested let me know.

    Try TeamViewer: cross-platform remote desktop control, screen sharing, and large file transfer.



    When starting up a connection you exchange a randomly generated ID and password with the other side which creates a unique, secure tunnel.

    I was unable to Remote Desktop from work. They block all outbound ports except 80 and 443. I tried running the Remote Desktop host on port 443 but still couldn't connect. Setting up an SSH tunnel was unsuccessful.



    I was finally able to connect to my home computer by connecting through a Remote Desktop Gateway. All the communication to the Gateway is done over port 443. The Gateway then forwards your request to the host. Remote Desktop Gateway is a part of Windows Server and there is nothing extra to install on the client or host. Check out www.rdanywhere.com. They offer a Remote Desktop Gateway service that anyone can use.
