Thanks for the warning. I'm already considering putting an inactivity timer
on HTTP connections because of abuses like server-push, and people poking
even more bogus stuf through HTTP will give me more support for blocking
things like this.
Document your protocol and provide an example plug in, in source, for FWTK.
That'll fit into most proxy firewalls pretty easily. Much better than abusing
HTTP.
