Possible to connect to a single ESX(i) 5.5 host with vSphere Web Client?

Hello,

Is it possible to connect to a single host, not vCenter, with the vSphere Web Client? On our older 4.0 hosts, we can just browse to that host in Internet Explorer and a page pops up with a link to view the host in the browser. This is not the case with our 5.5 hosts. I had to install the vSphere Windows Client to connect to individual hosts which can be cumbersome in some situations. Was this feature removed in later releases of ESX(i)? Please let me know if I am missing something. Thanks!

IIRC there was an option to start web page with some basic option in the "classic" ESX edition. With ESXi however this isn't available anymore.
