Should? Better to say could. Application layer enforcement of security
policy is far more flexible and potentially more secure. Additionally, the
existing security infrastructure of an organisation should not need to be
changed every time a new service is implemented on the network.
However, your point is taken - if I want that, I'll have to get around to
writing it myself. Perhaps an HTTPConnectionManager class which takes
requests from portlets that want to talk to other web servers? Comments,
anyone?
