any secure site will only allow port 80 or port 443 for web ...
all other ports is disallowed ... ie nothing else will work
- if other ports is allowed ... nice things can also come
into their secure box thru those open ports
- imho, people should download what they want ... not be sent stuff they
dont want .. no clickie, no object to come down the pike
- you know the pic was received ... by looking at your logs
and see that xxx bytes of that file was sent vs aborted
- if they have java running in their browser, you can get any other
info you want if they allow it to send out info
