HTTP Remote java app free download

Description:
Client requires browser. Server requires Java 6, a




Features:
Generate mouse clicks or mouse movement on your computer from any browser.
Control your computer from your PDA! Display is optimized for small screen, and forms are tested with PocketIE using stylus!
Make popups disappear with your PDA while watching movie!
Controll music/movie player on you PC with your PDA!
No install required. Download and start! (An installed JRE is required though.)


With this program your computer can be remote controlled by any browser with access to your computer including your PocketIE on your PDA, or with any other W3C compatible browser.
Requirements:
Client requires PocketIE or any other W3C compatible browser. Java and JavaScript support is not required but recommended. There is no stand alone client program!
Server requires Java SE 6 installed.
The client should be able to access the server of course. Typically it's a PDA with WiFi access. Bluetooth, infra or USB is not directly supported, but any program that can share the network connection through these will theoretically work.
Quick Setup:
You must have Java SE 6 installed on the server machine.
Hit the download button, choose save as.
Run the file on your PC.
Your PDA must be connected with your PC. (WiFi on)
You see an URL. Open a browser on your PDA, and type it. If your PC has static IP, you can make it favorite.
Use! Don't close the window on your PC.

 

Installation:

Q: What is this again?
A: Program that helps you send mouse clicks to your PC from your PDA. You can do things like shutting down your computer, adjusting volume, or clicking away idiot popups under a film from the bed.

Q: What can I do with a .jar file?
A: It's the extension for Java programs. After you've installed Java, it'll run it for you. You will just have to open it like you do with any other file.
Note: Do NOT unzip it! Jar relies on zip, so your zip will handle it, but Java is expecting the archive when you want to run it.

Q: What is Java?
A: For short, it's a runtime environment. It's required to run Java programs. It can do a lot of cool things, like running the same program on Windows and Linux or Mac OS X, or providing me great tools for free. Oh, the best thing: it's completely free!

Q: Where can I get Java?
A: Well, first you can check it on javatester.org if it's been already installed. Then if it's not, Windows and Linux users can download directly from Sun for free. Just don't forget, you need JRE (Java Runtime Environment) SE (Standard edition) 6 (or 1.6, version numbers are fuzzy). Mac OS X users should have it already installed as operating system component, but sadly older PowerPC based Macs have a problem with Java 6 compatibility. Please send me a mail if you can solve it! Java 6 is also not available for Win98 and WinME, because support of these systems have been officially dropped since version 6.
Usage:

Q: How can I use the program?
A: Well, you must start it on the server machine, let the window open, then use any browser and connect it with the IP address instead of a domain on port 1234. The program already shows the URL based on the primary network card's IP address, probably that one will work. You can also click it to test, though the program will not provide any meaningfull functionality when used from the same computer.

Q: What that red warning means? Is the program flawed?
A: No, if it would be a flaw, it would have been corrected. To put it simple, it warns you, that anybody else can use the interface you use with the same functions you would. Remote controll just can't be provided without leaving your computer open. If you want to be safe, just block port 1234 on your router (it's probably closed by default) or your firewall, allowing only sources you know. Next version will make this easier...

Q: Does this program work on Linux/Mac?
A: Well, it've been tested only with windows. Mac PowerPC does have a problem with the java version. On other systems using Java SE 6 it should work, but it uses java.awt.Robot for input controll, which is not guaranted by Sun to work on every system.

Q: Can't you make it to run on Java 5?
A: While it currently fails on a Swing error, the real problem is, that the HTTP server is based on com.sun.net.httpserver, which is a pure new Java 6 class. I'm not planning to change this in the near future, since it would be a lot of work related to the project's current size.
