[REBOL] Re: AleME proxy problems

No Petr, proxy is not a proxy...
Ok... I'll be more clear...
A server is waiting for client coming from a specific port (e.g.: HTTP
servers usually expect the clients (brwser web) on port 80; FTP server
on port 21; etc...);
Client browser send the request to the server to a specific port.
CLient browser "allocates" a client port that is different from server port.
Look at this:
FireFox browser -------> server apache
(port 3300) (port 80)
It means, if I want to use Firefox to reach server apache I must
walk
within port 80. My proxy should let me use such port:
FireFox browser -------> PROXY ------------> server apache
(port 3300) (enabled: 80 (port 80)
(disabled:5400
Only the requests direct to server port 80 can continue their travel,
the other ones cannot.
Proxy setup used in Altme is used since a proxy can create a map from
incoming and outgoing connections: IN:8080 ---> OUT:80 (typical
configuration)
