[winswitch] XPRA/HTML5

[Mukul Agrawal]

Thanks!I have Apache webserver running on port 80. I have root access  but I need use port 80 for outside traffic for both the webserver and the xpra server because seems like firewall is blocking traffic on other ports.
I tried following :-
Editted /etc/apache2/ports.conf to make sure httpd is listening to 8080 and not 80.

Listen 8080
Then started apache :-
sudo service apache2 start

And then started xpra server on port 80 with "sudo"sudo xpra start --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:80 --html=on --start-child=xterm

Will --html=on start a new web server? Or will it just start a porxy and point it to httpd listenning on 8080?

Otherwise, should I do following (again with "sudo") 

sudo xpra start :10 --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:80 --tcp-proxy=127.0.0.1:8080 
--start-child=xterm


When I point the browser on the client machine on internet to http://SERVER-IP should I expect to see index page of webserver or the xpra xterm?

Last question, what does :10 mean here because seems like we are accessing xpra through tcp port 80. So why bother specifying display number? Where do I use :10 in the xpra attach command when using html5 client?

Thanks in advance! Help greatly appreciated.
