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. > > Will > > > _______________________________________________ > Devl mailing list > Devl at freenetproject.org > http://www.uprizer.com/mailman/listinfo/devl > _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://www.uprizer.com/mailman/listinfo/devl
