	In fact, this is close to the solution we have adopted to
encapsulate the GIOP protocol in HTTP (and HTTP/SSL). The startup is
to create a new thread which bind a new socket. The TCPSocketMTFactory
has been modified (few lines) in order to forward data to the binded
socket (with a small handshake). The binded thread, or proxy, will
create a new thread which will take care of the communication. This is
nice because HTTP requires serialize operation (write(data) followed
by read(answer)).

	The code source will be released in some weeks...
