Hi. I am trying to add a contribution to my user. I put the title, I upload a picture for the project, and I set the description, but when I press "accept" it hangs in "loading" (on the top right) and after a timeout I get:
Proxy Error The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. The proxy server could not handle the request *GET /web/members<http://association.pharo.org/web/members> *.
