Hi!
I first wanna thank you for a first class free webserver.
There is a thing that I wonder if it could be implemented...
When Netscape conatacts the server they negotiate a port that will be used
in all communication. Netscape then holds this channel open upto after
15 minutes of idle time, so practivcally the user never switches port.
I would like to have this port set in an enviroment variable to be imported
into CGI programs and scripts, cause if you can pin-point which port is used
and since Netscape holds it open a client can be temporarily identified on
that criteria.
I would have great use of it in a KOM-system projekt I am
building, the WebKOM project. Its not so official yet, but I will send you
an URL later on so you can study it.
For now I would be very happy if we could open a dialog around the
suggetsion above.
Regards
//Patrik
