Yes, I can say that NetHopper cannot handle
Javascript, Java, VBscript, Flash, embedded quicktime,
wave files, midi files, tables or frames. Nor can it
handle server constructs like header redirects. I
tried it on one of my sites that uses all of these.
Now, my question is...since we have Waba, can that
take over the Java interpretation? And with that MOD
(that's kinda like midi) can't that handle midi? and
that video viewer, can't that handle quicktime? We may
be able to map these applications to handle most of
what's required for a minimum http1.1 browsing
experience!
