>Description:
When Apache is configured as a proxy server on Windows NT it attempts to open
.htaccess files in the directories where the cache is stored. Unfortunately
it wants to open the .htaccess file in a directory called:
/apache/proxy:http:
where the colons are actually part of the directory name. WNT does not like
colons in file names or directory names and an error is logged in the error_log
file. The browser sees a 403, access forbidden by rule.
