Presumably, one answer is for the firewall companies to write additional
application layer filters for port 80, looking for ActiveX or Java
downloads.  This would make configuration of the firewall a bit more
complex.  Don't know if any of 'em are considering this yet.  Anyone have
any scoop on this?
