I found this on Yahoo... http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/991105/ca_on24_au_1.html

Apparently, British Telecom has developed a "new" version of HTTP that
allows some types of streaming content to "bypass" firewalls.  The report
mentions that it's not known whether this allows new types of viruses to
also bypass firewalls.
