I am not suprised if SourceForge won't allow php and other webapps to make outgoing connectiions, thats a foolproof safety net and saves them bandwidth which I'm sure they can always use. I don't know where an exact citation in the SourceForge docs is. I suspect that we might be able to convinvce the support staff that we need that for our broject, but I just assume not bother with it.
