Actually I need to update the patch. I was reading RFC 2616 the other day and they specifically state that a proxy is not allowed to rewrite URL paths. I'm also not sure about the Location headers. I'll have to go back and look to see what people are doing in terms of if they're setting absolute or relative URI's. Theoretically, if they're relative then it should work just fine. Paul
