Oh boy, even with a threaded mail reader, this is hard to follow. 
It reminds me of the game of "telephone".

Indeed, you _were_ talking about https in your post of
Sat, 29 Oct 2005 16:03:48 +0900. 

As I replied on Mon, 31 Oct 2005 21:06:04 -0500, I was so 
confused that I asked for a restatement of the whole approach. 

I thank you for your Tue, 01 Nov 2005 11:45:43 +0900 restatement. 
It was excellent for its clarity. It expressly mentioned http use 
on port 80 without any mention of https or port 443 or proxies. 

I accepted your restatement as comprehensive and so I thought that 
you were only considering http and port 80.

which confused several issues which I have since cleared up with Josh.
