It wouldn't be terribly hard (you're just porting stuff for which there is existing code that probably looks a lot like the ecmascript you want), but it'd be terribly slow. I don't think mandating SSH support in the spec is a good idea, though. However since you can script with other languages, you could turn there. The arbitrary connections thing is just a way of making available to EcmaScript stuff that is normally within the realm of other extension languages. -- Robin Berjon <robin.berjon@expway.fr> Research Engineer, Expway http://expway.fr/ 7FC0 6F5F D864 EFB8 08CE 8E74 58E6 D5DB 4889 2488
