Given that the HTTP proxy would be a major requirement to your above solution, I don't see this happening anytime soon. If this is something that you would like to design and implement yourself, donations of code are always welcome. I don't think anyone around here is going to take on that responsibility, though. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk331swACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PA0LQCfVybrSezyjMJxC/eHi1nIq1d6 Me8AoLq2f1pOYqLER/ndLhHMtGRJe+/1 =nr2i -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
