That is a great idea Shawn.  Done.

Your credentials will be your e-mail address as listed in the gateway. 
Expect a private e-mail from me with your password.  Please let me know 
if you would like a different password as I currently don't have a 
password portal.

A few items to note.

- I chose digest authentication instead of basic authentication for 
security reasons.  If that causes any problems let me know.

- I am unable to host this over SSL right now.  I don't think that 
should be a big deal.

- I had to map the address space to the /vg2 directory (e.g. 
http://if3-1.no-ip.org:3456/vg2/).  This is because of a bug in IE (see 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2192811/digest-authentication-not-working-on-ie8-firefox-and-chrome-are-fine 
for a few more details).  This may cause problems later once files start 
being managed via the gateway.  I just can't tell yet.  If we don't care 
about IE, I can get rid of the vg2 mapping.  Firefox and Chrome work 
fine either way.

Jody, let me know if you would rather host this on your node.  I don't 
mind either way.

Thanks,

Brad
