How Nici accesses the Internet

Nici uses the HTTP protocol which is the same protocol used by all Web-Browsers. Nici downloads the pages you add to the download line, and follows links in those pages to find pictures.

When you tell Nici to do a Live Update, Nici also uses HTTP to anonymously download a patch file from Nici''s servers.

If you do not enable the Adults Only feature, the Auto-Pilot will download some pictures from Nici's servers as a tutorial.

If Nici detects that a number of network errors have occurred, it will do a connection check by doing HTTP head requests to major servers like; Google, Yahoo, CNet.

If you send either a picture email, or an email to Nici support, Nici uses the standard Simple-MAPI email component.
