Well be carefull there.. A firewall 'should not' mess with the upper
application layers like http, unless it provides proxy services.

To my knowledge IPFilter does not do this.. I'm not sure but i dont think
Checkpoint does either (at least for WWW).

The Netcraft survey compares WWW servers, not firewalls.
