It works Well , and you can even call any sip adress since wengo 2.0,  I
understand what you meant about tcp , but microsoft use sip  messaging over
TCP and it works well for exemple. the http tunnel solution is still the
only one for http proxy. it's also what google use for google talk. the
point is that wengo http tunnel serve ris not open source I think.
