As long as we're breaking through firewalls in a really verbose way, this might be interesting. Doesn't even need XML. ---------------------------------------------- Title : IP over MIME Author(s) : D. Eastlake 3rd Filename : draft-eastlake-ip-mime-06.txt Pages : 8 Date : 29-Jan-02 The MIME encoding of IP packets is standardized so they can conveniently be sent via MAIL, HTTP, etc. This may be convenient for transmitting packets for analysis or for creating application level tunnels. A URL for this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-eastlake-ip-mime-06.txt ------------------------------------------- From the draft itself: -------------------------------------- An unambiguous MIME encoding for IP datagrams is useful in their transmission for monitoring, analysis, debugging, or illustrative purposes. In addition, IP over MIME can be effective as one component in creating application level tunnels including those that bypass firewall protections [RFC 3093]. With the aid of cooperative software running within a firewall, unrestricted, if slow, IP connectivity can be established. --------------------------------------- Simon St.Laurent Ring around the content, a pocket full of brackets Errors, errors, all fall down! http://simonstl.com
