There is a simple reason why this will never be done (add such instructions to the download page):
- I do not want a lot of people performing download through port 80. When this happens, almost no body has a chance to get through port 80 for normal HTTP operations on the Easy400 site: response time would be awful. - This is why HTTP download is performed via an alternate port, number 7777. Problem is that many companies did install a proxy solution from IBM pSeries. Their IBM (stupid?) packake does not allow HTTP responses other than port 80. How long should one support IBM pSeries on iSerie networks?
