>Description:
The rfb module in vnc2flv isn't sending a "ClientInit" when there is no authentication. This will break tools (such as rfbproxy) that don't gracefully handle a missing server response.

Here's a small patch for vnc2flv that allows it to properly send the "ClientInit".  I've tested this with a few other VNC servers, including rfbproxy, and it looks like it works.

Patch also submitted upstream: http://groups.google.com/group/vnc2flv-users/browse_thread/thread/63f42b2422104224
