Check out TightVNC:
http://www.tightvnc.com/

It has a Java applet that can be accessed via a web browser.

TightVNC is in portage:

and of course the ever popular ssh if you only need a terminal. If you install cygwin on a windows computer then you can even run the X apps. (of course if you are ssh'ing from a linux computer then you can run X apps anyway)

ssh can handle shell connections over TCP. You can log into your box over the network.

Is there a way to run SSH over HTTP?

Accdtually, I don't know, I didn't research it, but I say no based in: HTTP is a protocol used by web servers (apache, IIS...) to make request/response of objects. It doesn't handle permanent connections, which is needed by SSH. Both, HTTP and SSH runs over TCP, HTTP and SSH are in the same network layer.
BUT I saw once a java aplet wich connect to an SSH server (this used for playing nethack over the web). Maybe this helps.

Have you tried wiredx? www.wiredx.net. I used to use it before I ran linux at work. All you have to do is ssh into your box at home, then login to wiredx and it will export the session for you.
