question about httpProxy prop.

[Andre Garzia]

Chipp,

thank you very much for the reply! I am investigating what type of 
damn-proxy I am dealing with, but I think it uses no auth, for the 
students have no login and the explorer shows no auth...

I am receiving weird errors, in some machines it work fine, others it 
receives old data... I must go on site and see with my eyes, now, all I 
have is their tech on the phone line screaming, I will be there in 
couple days, then I'll see what I am dealing with.

Thanks
andre
