I agree with you here Mike, despite being used to look at network captures all the day and testing proxies with "printf|netcat" at both ends. But we must admit that if developers need tools, they will develop their tools. Having an HTTP option for netcat would work well, or even having an 1.1-to-2.0 and 2.0-to-1.1 message converter on stdin/stdout would do the trick. So I prefer to lose the ability to easily debug and have something efficient than the opposite. And it costs me a lot to say this :-) Willy
