Does your trick work well over HTTP proxies? Some HTTP proxies (e.g., consider Apache's proxy, Squid, etc.) aren't as "generic" as your trick might assume. They may not work full-duplex (e.g., when the proxy is reading the response from the server it doesn't try to read requests, so you'll need to use very short requests and responses), they might not support keepalive (e.g., Apache's proxy) or not guarantee it, they may wrongly cache stuff even if you tell them not to, may refuse the CONNECT method, or otherwise mess with your traffic. If your trick is not 100% certain to work over HTTP proxies, it may not be as useful as you think. (but not knowing what trick you refer to, I can't really say). -- Nadav Har'El | Wednesday, Oct 30 2002, 24 Heshvan 5763 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |You do not need a parachute to skydive. http://nadav.harel.org.il |You only need one to skydive twice. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
