Yeah, "modern" proxies don't allow that. We need to update the docs for 
this, Cc:ing Miles and Diane so that we can file a ticket for this.

In order to use the cache inspector, we added support so that you can 
use it in a reverse proxy mode, using a map rule like


map http://myts:8888/cache_inspector/   http://{cache}


The LHS URL, path etc. doesn't matter, but is what you will use to 
access the cache inspector. Note that this could potentially be 
dangerous, since anyone could now access the inspector.
