I have tried this. I have written a mini-ids server as a mod-perl handler. It parses the XML sent by the Iliad and sends back appropriate responses - just handles Ping, GetServerURI and GetUpgradeSoftware at the moment - but these should be enough to see if the concept works.
I ran this server on my LAN and connected the Iliad to it through a squid proxy.
Although it works fine with the web2ids software, and (as far as I can tell) the responses and headers are identical to the ones sent back by the real IDS server, the Iliad won't play ball. It believes that it has found IDS, sends several Ping requests, then gives up with an
error in download message.
I can only guess that it doesn't like my self-signed SSL cert. If anybody has any ideas about how I can pursue this one further or anything I might have missed, I'd be pleased to hear from you. Happy to give access to my server if it would be useful.
