and RFC 2396 defines it as permitted.
so if it doesn`t work on imode, they are not following the appropriate
RFC....
It is obviously a "bad idea" to use it in most cases. (I require it for a
legacy, proprietory app guarding low security data.)
I thought the point worth making that imode deviate from the RFC for http
requests - and that they may deviate elsewhere as well...
I wonder if one can force their proxy to hit - say, port 8080 for http...
Time to play.
