I am simply misusing the browser: instead of browsing the origin of the
SSH connection (to the ntop host) on the port it is forwarding, I have 
change the browser __proxy settings__ so that it it sending a proxy 
request.

It works beautifully when I do so :-

I sincerely beg your pardon and will try and shut up.

I am happy to pursue this if you think it worthwhile. Sorry again.

'...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the
continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
