It very well has, if you think about getting through a HTTP proxy, faking a HTTPS session. It is not uncommon for student appartements internet to be restricted to HTTP and HTTPS only (and that, through a proxy, CONNECT restricted to those two ports). If you have OpenVPN running on port 443, TCP, you can use the proxy options to get a connection. Has been in use with the U of Edinburgh where a friend of mine "needed" a phoneline during his Erasmus term. Got a sipgate account for him, and tunneled asterisk VoIP through OpenVPN... worked like a charm. Using something like GIF-Upload/Download would require a much deeper lever of network stack, basically most of a webserver would have to be setup. It seems unlikely there are enough requests for this sort of functionality... Unless it is you who starts coding :) BR Anselm _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
