Current situation on 14.04 LTS is the port 5800 is still open and
currently responds to HTTP requests with:

<html><head><title>File Not Found</title></head>
<body><h1>File Not Found</h1></body></html>

Verified this was vino by killing it to see the port closed. Verified on
a remote machine. In my testing I used the instructions in
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers were followed to allow
only local connections.

Title:
  vino http server binds to external interfaces despite local_only
  configuration

Status in GNOME Remote Desktop:
  Fix Released
Status in vino package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Environment:

  Debian Wheezy
  Vino 3.2.2-1+b1

  Vino is configured for local access only via:

  gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/remote_access/local_only --type bool
  true

  Vino's vnc server is only listening on localhost:5900 and no other
  interfaces - as expected.

  Vino's http server, though, is listening on all interfaces, despite
  the local_only configuration. The expected behaviour would be for all
  vino services, including the http server, to only bind to the
  localhost interface when configured accordingly.
