That would be almost impossible: a session is running with 8 https clients 
communicating to the server.
The server has to have certificate that can be checked continuously at the 
certificate authority.
It's a complete different model than all existing software and is mainly 
used by large enterprise clients.
Some need a very high secutity level (banks) and we even need to write 
special servers for them.
Believe me: they won't take VNC for an answer.
