Gerardo Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 This is not possible at the moment, but could be viable under certain circumstances (depending on the firewall). BBO client tries port 9999 on their servers, and after that tries port 80 (web port, usually open in any environment), though. If that doesn't work now, it's probably not viable.

barmar Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 The problem with its use of port 80 is that it doesn't send valid HTTP syntax; it's apparently just sending the normal BBO protocol on a different port. It will work with a simple packet filter, but not with an application-layer firewall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerardo Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 yes, that's the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
