As I wrote already, saned is not for scanning over the Internet on a
random scanner thousands of miles away. If you're scanning over the
network, you're scanning over YOUR network, which means YOUR Oyranos
server is accessible the same way the saned host is accessible at the
time the scan is done. I don't see a problem here, really.

Worst case the frontend can generate the ICC profile identification
and you can retrieve it later on with that.

JB.
