The proxy should only do URG where the application allows it- and it should be an URG-hanlding application (such as FTP). Even in that case, most proxies don't relay URG, they create their own URG data as the client, or receive it as the server (which is significantly different than forwarding it.) I'd be interested in some examples where a proxy would "forward" an URG rather than generating it based on specific application conditions (note that circuit relays (e.g. plug-gw) aren't proxies.) Can you cite an example where a proxy for say HTTP forwards URG data? Thanks, Paul ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
