Sounds like it would work. But I also suspect that somebody will eventually get upset at some content that somebody tries to reach through your mirrorrr, and I bet Google App Engine will be pleased to shut you off at the first complaint. See http://tor2web.org/ for a project that already does all of this (though not with Java and not with Google App Engine). You should learn about their work building a community of people willing to host the tor2web proxies. --Roger -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
