Re: Small modification to allow application proxies

[Bill Sommerfeld <sommerfeld%east.sun.com@localhost>]

It's not clear to me why it would be necessary to change servers this
way; an application-layer proxy which required the client to prefix
the connection with some sort of control message could strip the
prefix from the stream before forwarding the rest to the eventual
destination, leaving the protocol, as seen on the outside of the
application proxy, unchanged.

A worked example of this is, of course, the SOCKS proxying protocol..
