Yes, that's right. Oh man, I've been to stubborn to figure this out by
myself :-( A week ago I was studying AvantGo's traffic with a http
debugging program to figure out exactly what you wrote. ;-)

Well, that Heise.de wasn't available on AvantGo was the best good
reason to change. I first went to WebToGo, a german company, which
is doing the proxy server stuff for free(!) and I've been quite happy
for some time. But when I found Plucker I knew I could stop using
AvantGo and WebToGo.
