I don't see the point. The problem is not that we cannot connect
outward through overly paranoid firewalls - in this case http proxies
- but that we are a peer to peer system, so users need to be able to
be connected to. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see anything
about SOAP which opens any backwards holes through firewalls.
