Re: Is it "fishy"?

No more or less fishy than any other HTTP transaction.

It could be a legitimate long file up/download over HTTP. Of course it could also be a non-legitimate up/download or something else being tunnelled over HTTP.

Then again so could a "short" HTTP TCP connection.

The firewall log shows that a host (YMCA12) has been using http accessing
a web site over 2 hours.  Is it a form of "attack" or it is normal.  The
time is between 10:15 am till 12:30 pm.

Any comments are much appreciated.

Thanks,
