That would be SOL connecting with a web browser. That (with all VNC
versions that I know about) will always need 2 ports, and AFAIK, always
100 port numbers apart. Using the stand-alone / OS specific VNC viewer
program instead will allow you to get by using a single port, if you can
convince all
Then you may be SOL.. You could hack the server source to give you the
applet over port 80, but you will also need another port for vnc. If
there isn't one, then you don't have many options.

FWIW, if this hasn't been discussed - I would dearly love to see VNC go to a
more "traditional" approach in numbering displays - e.g., using a port
number for specification of ports used instead of an arbitrary display
number based on 5900... this causes too many headaches.

You could; but you then MUST be able to connect to port 180 to actually
*use* VNC; connecting to the web interface only serves you the Java applet,
which then interacts over the standard VNC display 100 ports higher.

Well if you have a public key (one which is delivered when you connect

I don't think that will work either because that's using port 5800, which
