Browsers (such as Chrome) don't report port numbers in window.location.port when
used on standard ports such as 80 and 443. This causes vnc_auto.html to not
automatically find the port as it should.
This simple change checks if window.location.port is blank, and sets port as
appropriate from the name of the protocol in use.
Some browsers (Firefox) reject unencrypted ws connections if the hosting
page uses https by throwing an exception when you create the websocket
object.
NoVNC interprets this as binary being unsupported, and falls back to
base64.
If we instead connect to wss://localhost, the websocket object can be
created regardless of whether the hosting page is on http or https.

- Fix for python2.4 with URL parsing.
- Set binaryType earlier in Opera 12.10 to avoid receiving a blob.
- Re-order client and target processing so that pending client data
has an opportunity to be sent when the target closes.

Split out the function to load a single script to Util.load_script.
In order to get sequential load, when on IE set the script defer flag.
It is currently working on webkit and firefox but just in case also
set the script.async flag to make sure that scripts execute in the
order they are added. Scripts should still load in parallel.
Data files should now set the variable VNC_frame_encoding to either
"binary" or "base64". The python websockify recording mode adds this
automatically based on what is negotiated with the client being
recorded.
The mobile doctype doesn't not seem to make any difference on iOS so
I'm dropping it and just going with the standard HTML5 version since
the wapforum mobile version may cause issues with IE 10.

In IE9, the window.onload event can fire before dynamically loaded
scripts have finished loading. This can result in either WebSocket (in
the case of vnc_auto.html) or RFB (in the case of vnc.html) not being
defined at the point when window.onload is called.
- Move the load_scripts routine from vnc.js to util.js (so that
websockify can use it too). Also, refactor to work when load_scripts
is called by a script that itself uses load_scripts. When the whole
chain of dynamically loaded scripts is finished then call
window.onscriptsload. Use this mechanism in all the places that
depend on dynamic loading of scripts: vnc.html, vnc_auto.html,
websock.js, tests/vnc_playback.html, and tests/vnc_perf.html.
- Use the new window.onscriptsload handler instead of window.onload.
- Remove include/start.js and do the script loading and startup event
handling in include/ui.js instead.
This is a workaround for corrupted non-square cursors seen on some
Windows 7 machines with NVIDIA cards. The corruption only happens when
the screen is in portrait mode.
The MPL 2.0 license is a "file-level" copyleft license vs the
"project-level" nature of the L/GPL. The intention of noVNC has
always been that it should be easy to incorporate into existing
projects and sites whether free/open or proprietary/commercial. The MPL
2.0 is designed for this sort of combination project but still
requires that any distributed modifications to noVNC source files must
also be published under the same license.
In addition, the MPL 2.0 allows the code to be used in L/GPL projects
(the secondary license clause). This means that any projects that are
already incorporating noVNC should not be impacted by this change and
in fact it should clarify the licensing situation (the exact
application of the L/GPL to web applications and interpreted code is
somewhat ambiguous).
The HTML, CSS, image and font files continue to be under more
permissive licenses (see LICENSE.txt). The included websockify python
code remains under a LGPLv3 license although the include/websock.js
file from the websockify component is now under MPL 2.0 as well.
Permission was received from other noVNC authors to make this change to their
code license on the following dates:

- Antoine Mercadal (DOM,*util.js): Oct 10, 2012
- William Lightning (UltraVNC repeater): Oct 10, 2012
