[one-users] NoVNC in Sunstone behind lighttpd

[Hector Sanjuan]

No, nothing has been changed regarding this aspect in 3.2.1.

If it works for you that probably means that your Sunstone clients can  
open a direct connection from their browser to  
sunstone_host:vnc_proxy_port, where the normal sunstone_host:443 is the  
only one being proxied through lighthttpd. I guess your proxy is running  
on the same machine as sunstone and no firewalls are in place so vnc  
connections can happen. Or maybe you have a different setup that I havent  
thought of?
