The effort to build and contribute an open-source chat program (or programs) is fantastic, and credit should go to the correct people - so I'm very sorry about getting this wrong.

I'm curious about what security concerns that a chat (or sockets in general) might open up
for the user and what (if any) precautions need to be taken.


Also, when setting up a chat for someone who has a firewall (uses a proxy) in place and
the Rev "set the HTTPProxy to host:portNumber" is used, are other security concerns
presented?


My questions spring from an appalling lack of knowledge of sockets  :-/
