As for the HTTP Gateway examples.... I'm looking for some sample
code that may illustrate techniques useful in coding an HTTP Gateway.
What is a HTTP gateway? Gateways are ISO layer 3 devices, way below HTTP's
location in the standard network stack.
I want to be able to connect 2 PCs (both behind firewalls) via an HTTP
connection. FTP is also acceptable for this project, but HTTP is
best.
Regardless of whether you run HTTP or FTP, if the communication is supposed
to be bidirectional, you'll need to run both server and client software on
both boxes. Since there's no native FTP support in .NET before version 2.0,
using HTTP is probably easier to implement (System.Net.WebClient or
System.NetWebRequest) and certainly a lot more firewall friendly -- I assume
port 80 is open on both firewalls.
