Yes, that would be cool, I keep this in mind (that we can and will in some
time have a protocol to manage subscription without any need of old style
areafix).

Not necessary, the host for request will be taken from a list downloaded from
another site. Everyone who wants to participate well have to complete the
registration form and will be included in this list immediately. 

You will see everything when it's ready. 
 
 BP> this is so a virtual apache host ?

It's up to you. This could be just a static file on a free hosting (or
Dropbox) that you renew with a script once per day. But it can also be an xml
output generated in real time based on you tosser configuration.

On my node it will be a real time list generated from database, because on
2:5020/2141 I use jNode, it's a database based node solution created by my
friend Ivan Agarkov.

Btw there will be one more http request - for point registration, but I'll
write about it later. 
 
 SP>> Probably it will be ready in 2.11.
 BP> will there ever be a tic file tosser on android ? :=)

Yes, there will be and I have an idea of how to implement it neat. 

Right now all unknown received files (not pkts or arcmail bundles) are just
put to sdcard or any other external storage, have a look at hotdoged directory
there.
