hi ml, i searched the list about an idea, but didn't find the complete answer, so i would ask: i am thinking about a https website (with logon), where you can download a completly preconfigured package (java-applet?) which checks HTTP_PROXY on unix and the msie registry settings on windows and connect a local port to a remote running stunnel, listening on port 443 (the stunnel ist running on a different ip). currently there are imho two points, which need solved: 1.) there is no proxy support, without a patch 2.) it is currently not possible to download a preconfigured package are there some thoughts? greetings thomas -- # Thomas Stegbauer # https://keyserver1.pgp.com/vkd/DownloadKey.event?keyid=0x9A3F1866FC68E91D # Key fingerprint = 5A2D FEDC 8A50 F1BB 25FB 967B 9A3F 1866 FC68 E91D
