While I can't modify the server, I could look at the files on the host running the application and try to determine if they fit to information from the server about its files. If both match, I could then conclude that application host and server host probably are the same. But, I still couldn't be sure.
Isn't there anything in telnetlib that can differentiate between a local connection and a remote connection? Or may be some unique property of each host that I could use? Malte -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
