A proxy makes sense, but not exactly in the context of a firewall.
E.g., presently there is a discussion in blogspace about "session
hijacking" of opaque "capability" URLs used in continuation-based web
application frameworks. (A fully buzzword-compliant topic, as you can see.
;-)
A blogspace thread, unlike a Usenet or mailing list one, happens on
people's blogs. You'll have to click here and there to track the
discussion. Another example: Fred Avolio blogged on "Evolution of
firewalls". The moderator of this list responded in _his_ blog. If more
people join in on their blogs, how to follow?
So, anyways, I first saw the "session hijacking" reference a day or two
ago. Bugger if I can remember _where_ though. A personal proxy that logs,
indexes and generally acts like a smart web browsing assistant will be very
helpful.
(Or maybe a blogspace <-> NNTP gateway will do. Duh!)
Cheers.
