port tests fail to produce results, even though the II and
(upcoming) CI tests may have useful results. [David]
o Ncat user guide should probably discuss proxy
chaining somewhere (maybe the proxy section)
o [Ncat] Why does Ncat require enclosure in a while loop to answer
repeated UDP queries, but not TCP? For example, see the "Emulating
Diagnostic Services" section of the Ncat user's guide.
o Ncat user guide "Emulating Diagnostic Services" page has a very long
UDP chargen server line which causes wrapping problems in web browsers
(e.g. it widens the page substantially). It should probably be
split into multiple lines.
o Ncat user guide proxying section says "The only exception is when
listing a proxy host by IPv6 address; then the port is required."
Why would we require a port number for IPv6 rather than just use the
same defaults as we do for IPv4?
o Write Ncat users' guide, demonstrating all the neat stuff you can do
with it. This should probably be in DocBook XML so it can be an NNS
chapter. You might want to query nmap-dev for list of neat things

--listen and --proxy-auth together (right now we don't support
that). [David]
o [Ncat] When acting as an HTTP proxy, shouldn't we support the GET
method? Is that what most browsers use?
o [Ncat] Can we use it as an IPv4 <-> IPv6 gateway? If so (or if we
can add it), it should be added to the ncat guide feature list.
