Websense WISP and IPX updates

Gianni, Matt and I spent a little time poking around at the Websense WISP protocol to see how likely it would be to get Squid working with it. We observered a Cisco PIX communicating with a Websense service running Linux. It seems pretty easy (which was strange as we’ve heard to the contrary from Websense themselves). Gianni has knocked up a tool that can query a Websense server with a url to see if it is blocked. If we need it we’ll build a squid redirector. (see http://www.scaramanga.co.uk )

New patch for IPX support on Firestorm. Fixes a few lame bugs and possible remote DoSs Gianni pointed out to me. Also improved the SAP support a little.
