Hmm. NAT itself shouldn't require inspection (that's why PASV was created). But yes, if the firewall does not allow general outbound TCP, it would have to inspect the command connection just as it would in order to set up inbound rules for active FTP. That still strikes me as unlikely, but more data from the bug filer would be good. --Amanda --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
