 Okay. Please try this:
 {{{
 ClientTransportPlugin websocket exec flashproxy-client --register :0
 0.0.0.0:9001 --register-addr :9001 --register-methods http --log
 flashproxy-client.txt
 }}}
 There are two things changed in this command. The first is `--register-
 addr :9001`. This was my mistake; we must omit the address in the
 registration method so that it can be guessed by the facilitator. The log
 line `Trying to register "0.0.0.0:9001"` revealed this error.
 The other thing is `--register-methods http`. It seems that `flashproxy-
 reg-email` does not work for you. Perhaps there is something preventing
 you from connecting to the Gmail SMTP port? (May be a local firewall or a
 firewall you don't control.) `--register-methods http` will skip trying to
 use the email registration. The http registration is easy to block, but it
 seems to be working for you for now.
