I am really unhappy about the term "gateway" in the spec.
I cannot see any possibilities to use it as a *real* gateway.
I'd like the possibility to receive something like
GATE prot://hostname:port/some_more_info
[ followed by some protocol specific info ]
The "gateway" could then make a connection to the host/port, send the
protocol specific info it received from the client and simply gate the answer
back to the requestor.
I cannot imagine how this would be possible with the current spec.
Therefor I'd prefer a name like CSI "Common Script Interface" or something
like that.
I am sorry to say that I don't have any "on the fly" proposals to be added
to the spec to allow for a "real gateway" behaviour as I understand it :-(
However, besides that I think the spec is really useful and needed.
