How about limiting URLs on non-blessed ports to, say, 64 alphanumeric characters? I'm sure the documentation writers and technical support folks would hate you, but it should address these concerns.
This is not good enough. Many people, feeling secure on their side of a firewall, put proprietary information in their .plan files. Since the the Navigator is running inside that firewall, we can't give access to that data to sources coming from outside the firewall. Given the many ways to construct a URL, the safest was to prevent any access to the finger port (along with a number of others). PK -- Philip L.
