It's a non-trivial bit of work to implement a new transport, but it's definitely an option. I'll doubt you'll get someone willing to jump in and do it unless someone is quietly already working on it though, as it'd be a fair investment of time. If you're interested in doing it yourself though people here can certainly point you in the right direction. Other options worth considering would be: 1 - Pieter's VTX: https://github.com/imatix/vtx - this is designed to be an easier way of adding extra protocols, building on top of the existing zeromq library. 2 - Running ZeroMQ TCP across port 80 or 443. Depending on the firewall config, you might find this is enough to get the traffic through and will get you up and running with a lot less effort. YMMV. Ian
