===========================================================================
I am sorry. I was very unclear on my first posting and I did not explain 
what I was trying to accomplish. 
No, I was not advetising my http server.

I am trying to put together a list of "Firewall Friendly Client 
Applications" for the Mac and Windows Environments. (i.e. netscape, wsftp, 
etc.) I was hoping not to reinvent the wheel if such a list was available. 
It appears not.

If the client end is too complicated or arcane to the end user then,
The end user will simply dial around the firewall.

Thus defeating most of the design philosophies of a firewall.
