The odd thing is, the URL-Path seems different if I use REDIRECT and do
not configure the client (I'm not getting
http://server.tld/path/mysite.html, just /path/mysite.html) but this
could be an issue specific to the python implementation of the request
handler. I just wanted to know if there is some special "magic" involved
in transparent proxying I have to take into account. I'll better ask
this on comp.lang.python though.
thanks again
Paul
