Firedoors (fired Oors ?)

Finally, fireholes for the masses:

This is the beginning of an end to illiteracy-based security. Imagine all those
billions spent on firewall ("security") consultants.

It is just a matter of time before web operators start offering services based
on http tunnelling. With a proper mimicry there is no way to filter this out.

A few comments:

- I think that code needs some authentication to be more secure (author provided
  some placeholders for that.)

- Gateway application would also be nice (to enable transparent tcp/ip across
  firewalls, so that existing tcp/ip apps will work.)

- Enveloping needs some (pseudo) randomization to thwart recognition attempts
  (inserting strings like "Microsoft", "Monica", and other sheeple-interest
  buzzwords now and then.)

- Used with an anonymizing proxy httptunnelling becomes the first practical
  implementation of semi-anonymous tcp/ip connections.
