Architecture

Despite its name, ThinVNC is not a traditional VNC, as it does not implement the AT&T RFB protocol. Instead, it rests on today's web standards: AJAX, JSON and HTML5.

ThinVNC is composed of a pure HTML5 based client connecting via HTTP/s to a server. The web client connects to the listening port and displays the desktop using JSON and JPEG image encoding. The communication is authenticated using Digest method and the connection can be made through HTTP or HTTPS.

 
 

The remote computer can be accessed from any OS platform through any HTML5 compliant browser like Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, Opera, etc. Version 8 (and older) of Internet Explorer does not support HTML5. However, it can be enhanced with Google Chrome Frame to make it fully compliant with ThinVNC.

For Developers

SDK

ThinVNC SDK is a component library that allows you to add Desktop and Application Sharing capabilities to your Windows Application.

With ThinVNC SDK you can share the application windows, making them accessible both from your own Windows or Web Client. Possible uses include custom remote support procedures, peer-to-peer application collaboration, authorization procedures, etc.

Additionaly, ThinVNC SDK allows you to publish "virtual" windows by sharing animated bitmaps. A sample code is included that allows you to publish Macromedia Flash movies over the web. With this example, a Macromedia Flash movie can be visualized on any HTML5-capable Web Browser, including Apple Safari on the IPad/IPhone.

The Software Development Kit contains:

  • ActiveX Server Components
  • ActiveX Client Control
  • Javascript Client Library
  • The required documentation
