About monitored ports, and proxy engine

[kuruden]

So, here I am. Thank you all for you welcomes

Jak was asking if Proximodo could monitor other ports than 80 (hhtp) and 443 (ssl). I definitely must spend some time browsing the forums, as I missed many discussions. My first thought is "yes, it could". Technically speaking, Proximodo will do what we make it do and be what we make of it. What other protocols would be worth monitoring? pop3 maybe?

I have not yet implemented ssl support, though it is of course planned. I started this project in october, so be patient, I need to familiarize with ssleay/openssl libraries first. And if you know a bit about C++ development, why not working on the sources?

Shea is wondering what's wrong with the proxy. You tell me! I just meant I have not yet fully tested it and I know there are a few issues to solve (see TODO.txt in the source package).

But don't worry, nothing terrible. That's the first public version, all right, but it is working quite well already and much better than many older projects I've seen. And with your feedback and help, it cannot but improve.
