It can be used to do some interesting things, but here's a pointless example instead. On the server side (running in Resin in my case; with Resin you will also need a resin-web.xml): public class HessianThing extends HessianServlet { ... http://blag.andrewyates.net/2010/03/14/hessian/ ~/.config/fsniper/scripts/pacman-cache.sh #!/bin/bash # This script checks the pacman cache directory and runs a command if it is over a certain size.

Coupled with a HTTP proxy running on phoenix and bound to localhost:3128, this can be used to tunnel traffic on the local ... http://blag.andrewyates.net/2008/06/17/dynamic-port-forwarding-with-ssh-ssh-d/ I recently wrote an (incomplete) manual for fsniper. This version covers a lot, but there's still more that needs to be added (delays, handler examples).
