Or are you refering to an option to use > plain TCP on port 443 without SSL (which doesn't make sense to me)? The original poster asked about running plain IRC protocol over port 80. You can only safely do that if you tunnel it inside something HTTP like. While not extremely difficult to implement, it's not trivial either. Think about the fact that HTTP is not full duplex, while TCP is. Then again, I'm fairly sure there will be quite a few existing implementations around, as, as you said, everybody, their wife, lover and Mexican servant have already done so. > > --Amos >
