How to use noVNC to connect to a VNC server through browser

I am trying to install novnc on CentOS. My default repositories doesn't have novnc listed in them hence says 

"-bash-3.2# yum install novnc
Failed to set locale, defaulting to C
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: mirrors.lga7.us.voxel.net
 * extras: mirror.rackspace.com
 * rpmforge: mirror.us.leaseweb.net
 * updates: mirror.atlanticmetro.net
Setting up Install Process
No package novnc available.
Nothing to do"

If anyone knows any repository that has noVnc, please share. Direct copy of the zip from the project source and trying to start the websockify gave me following error

./websockify --web ./ 5802 localhost:5901 WARNING: no 'numpy' module, HyBi protocol is slower or disabled WARNING: no 'ssl' module, TLS/SSL/wss is slower or disabled WARNING: no 'multiprocessing' module, Multi-Processing is slower or disabled Traceback (most recent call last): File "./websockify", line 18, in ? except: from urlparse import parse_qs, urlparse ImportError: cannot import name parse_qs

All I am trying to do is connect to the vnc through browser directly. Please help

I just merge a fix from websockify to the noVNC repo. This should fix a bug with when running websockify with python2.4. Please download and try again.

Note that this also means that have a really old distribution of CentOS so some of the websockify functionality will be limited (single client at a time, slower binary socket support, and no SSL support.
