Hoi folks!

I got a note from TimBL some time ago on the same issue.
The CERN httpd supports gatewaying ...

We have a a httpd running on a firewall machine.
To use it as a gateway do something like:

-----------------
#!/bin/sh

WWW_http_GATEWAY=//firewall.foo.bar:80
WWW_gopher_GATEWAY=//firewall.foo.bar:80

export WWW_http_GATEWAY WWW_gopher_GATEWAY

xmosaic $*
-----------------

However I had some (known) problems with binary data not beeing
gated correctly.

I am currently working on a modification to the NCSA httpd, which
should enable this server to work as a gateway for http and gopher
requests, too.

Ciao
	\Maex
