Hej,

I have introduced a messaging system where my application can send me
information about exceptions etc.  When I say me I mean our web server in
the office.

I want to keep overheads low for the application, so currently I am using
UDP on port 60. The sending of the message occurs in a seperate thread. It
works!

However I am not sure what protocol should I use. UDP or HTTP?

What port should I use?

However I have discovered that many networks do not let traffic out on UDP
port 60 so the messages never arrive.

So should I use HTTP on port 80?

/Richard
