This is so *very* short-sighted.  At work, for example, my web browser
is on HP-UX 10.20 and my node is on Win95.

You don't actually expect me to try to run a Freenet node on HP-UX
10.20 do you?  Good lord, I can't even get one stable on OpenBSD.
Now, if freenet were written in a *portable* language instead of a
proprietary one.... ;-)

But I don't think it's freenet's job to implement any sort of tunnel
for extra security; simply make sure that freenet doesn't actively
prevent people from doing that sort of tunneling (e.g. by doing silly
HTTP redirection tricks).
