I would be happy to see that in a future release so I can dump my own CAs for that. OK, so I filed feature request 1985167 for that.

I didn't do that code, mostly because it's pretty rare -- and Flight Simulator and Train Simulator don't need it. 8-) If you're interested, please file a feature request at SourceForge; it looks fairly straightforward to add support for the known services. Stefan,

Is it also possible to enable builtin exceptions using this extension, such as "File and Print Sharing"? I seem to remember that when I wrote CAs for that, that they were neither accessible as Ports nor as separate programs. Thanks, -- Stefan Great News.
