I wrote this NSAPI redirection module ages ago, and I clearly stated that I would not provide any sort of support for it. The alternative would have been not releasing the code at all. I think it is better to release the code with a big fat no-support disclaimer and a license that lets anybody do whatever they want with it than to not release it at all. -Rasmus
