RFB remote frame buffer server

[codepilot Account]

Just for fun, but also for a cross platform user interface I made a simple Remote Frame Buffer(RFB) Server. The demo just randomly draws rectangles and moves stuff around, but I think something useful could be made out of it some day.

Use a VNC viewer like tiger or tight to view it. demo is localhost:5901

FWIW @tobeytailor (https://github.com/tobeytailor) wrote a VNC server
in node.js and demoed it at JSConf 2011 (http://blip.tv/jsconf/
jsconf2011-tobias-schneider-5480508), but it doesn't seem he ever
released the source code to it. You may want to get in touch with him
to save yourself some work.

It's not a serious project, and getting source code out of people is hard. I just spent a little time to make a simple demo. It's public domain, so maybe some one will pick it up a carry it.

And I have vnc client as an example X application (runs fine on mac
too)

https://github.com/sidorares/node-x11/tree/master/examples/vncviewer

>node rfbclient host port

At the moment only raw and copyRect encoding and noAuth security (I'm
going to add RRE&Hextile and vncAuth soon )

Me too, only raw and copyrect. I see a pattern here....

Can you put them together and see if they work together?

[Andrey]

does not seem to work, tried with my viewer and with 'chicken of the
vnc'
Can you put your code on github?

I've never been much for github, but it is public domain code, so you can if you like. I tried it with tightVNC and tigerVNC and it works. It forces version RFB 3.7, and the demo servers port 5901.
