web data tunnel

[WebAsh]

Hey there...

What I'm searching for is a browser based... most likely java program, that is able to listen on a certain port on the computer it's running on and send any data that is sent to that port as though it is standard web traffic through port 80, in other words a web traffic/data tunnel... I know programs like Putty provide such services, but the place where i need to use this application only allows you to run a very limited set of EXEs, such as word, ie, publisher etc... if u can help me out it will be much appreciated. :D

you would want a port scanner. not many will do it from a browser though. well running a exe from a browser is not very safe to begin with.

Hmm... no... not a port scanner... you see what it is... is that I want to use something like JavaVNCViewer from behind a proxy server which only allows standard web traffic through port 80 (and the SSL port)... and as I said... the place where I wish to do this doesn't allow you to run EXEs other than the ones they let u run... I'm sure java must be able to achieve what I'm after even just running through the browser... but I've searched and searched (google) and haven't been able to find what I'm after... so maybe I don't know enough about Java and it actually isn't possible... but I'm just hoping. :)

ok, if you are talking about uploading a app to a server to watch your ports than no, it is physically impossible. but, if you had the right tool you can scan your ports on your computer, it won't watch it 24/7 but it will scan. something like www.grc.com. they do that.

but what you are after will not work on a server and watch your computer. It has to run off your machine locally. that is why I said a port scanner. if you upload server side language (java) it will watch the servers ports, not yours.

are you trying to fool the ISP and think that you are still connected or something?
