There is one other possible negative. I see that the URL has a port 8090
specified. There are a relatively large number of companies, such as the one
I work in, that limit HTTP requests through the firewall to the standard
port 80. Now whether this is a reasonable policy or not (I am not very happy
with it) it is a fact of life at pretty many companies that are 'anal' about
security. Anybody in one of these companies would not be able to access this
site.
