Now, for the Tomcat gurus: Does this explain the error that I'm getting? >>When a request comes in to http://my.machine.edu:8080/, >>Proxy is called to handle it. However, when I set my browser so that >>my.machine.edu:8080 is my HTTP proxy, Proxy is no longer invoked. >>Instead, I get a generic error 400. Is Tomcat always going to croak on a request of this form? "GET http://dest.url/ HTTP/1.1" Or is there some way I can get a pattern to match it so my servlet can handle it? -- robin =:-{) University of California, Irvine Information and Computer Science Dept. http://www.ics.uci.edu/~burke/ "The universe is made of stories, not of atoms" - Muriel Rukeyser
