[wplug] SSH and HTTP

[Diana A. Clarion]

Call me whatever you want to call me; I've been called just about everything in
the book, anyway.

But...

Two things:

1) SSH is SSH.  HTTP is HTTP.  Ne'er the twain shall meet.  Does *everything*
have to be run through a web browser?  At the least, it confuses the issue, at
worst, it introduces nasty vulnerabilities.

2) Are you using your home PC to do employment-related work?  If so, perhaps
the powers that be can be convinced to install an SSH-type program (whatever it
might be on an XP system).  If not, a simple keyboard interface to the home
PC might be a better alternative.

I can't install an ssh client on my pc, a XP based machine at work.  I also have the problem of having to go trough a proxy server.  If any one has ideas please let me know.
