Unfortunately, HTTP proxies usually can't deal with the RFB protocol used
by VNC, only with HTTP and FTP. If you can convince your sysadmin to open
port 5900 on the firewall (this is what VNC uses), then you'll be able to
connect directly. Otherwise, you'll need rather more specialised tactics,
some of which are discussed in the FAQ.
