Plug-gw works fine to front-end a web server but it doesn't do any protocol
checking. (However, it's better than nothing because you can limit access
to your web server to just the HTTP port).
Don't use http-gw to front-end a web server. The FWTK http-gw is designed
to permit trusted users access to web sites; if you allow untrusted users
to connect through http-gw you'll be giving them wider access than is
reasonable.
