yeh, thanks, it looks interesting. I already know and did the ASF over HTTP 
but it looks like they are doing the ASF over UDP/TCP. Cool, I'm
gonna read there doc. For now the HTTP over ASF should be enough for
most of the users, especially users behind firewall. But this can be a futur
optimization for those not behind a firewall, the UDP implementation should
reduce the overhead in the network compared to TCP/HTTP.
