See https://www.samba.org/samba/devel/copyright-policy.html,
if you have remaining questions just ask via contributing at samba.org.

I've have a closer look at the changes in the next days/weeks,
but first I need to understand the protocol a bit more.

- What is the difference between 'rpc proxy' and 'http proxy'?
- What is the relation between rpc proxy and rpc server?
- At which layers may use tls encryption?
- Can I get captures from a ncacn_http sessions:
  1.) without any proxy
     a) captured on the client
     b) captured on the server
  2.) with a rpc proxy
     a) captured on the client
     b) captured on the server
     c) captured on the rpc proxy (client side)
     d) captured on the rpc proxy (server side)
  3.) with a rpc proxy and a http proxy
     a) captured on the client
     b) captured on the server
     c) captured on the rpc proxy (client side)
     d) captured on the rpc proxy (server side)
     e) captured on the http proxy (client side)
     f) captured on the http proxy (server side)

Thanks!
