I tried to analyze the protocol, but didn't have a tool that would show me the data stream with a timeline :( I was working with a tool that dumped packets, and i was reassembling the data manually after extracting the header. >From what I got, the client was opening a tcp connection, and then sending a login request. The userid and password, if i remember correctly were sent as plaintext in the tcp packets. After this the client would send keepalive requests thru tcp. The would be like a byte sent and one byte received. The problem is that if the keepalive doesn't work once or a few times, the client crashes. If there are some problems with the network or a lot of network load, the client crashes. The client also seems to crash randomly and has a useless gui. The original gui didn't have the tab order correct (which i fixed with a resource editor) and doesn't save my username. But it saves the other options in the screen and mostly works for me. Hotwire also accepts requests for disabling requirement of authentication, but this is not permanent and gets reset quite often.
