 I now see this:
 NOTE: For installations using a web server (CGI) the prefix should be
 proxy.example.com/apt-cacher/? 
 
 Is that intended?  I notice the source (as shown in the patch earlier
 in this bug report) is '?/' but that is rendered as '/?'.

Thanks for spotting this.
 
 In either case, the meaning of the '?' is unclear to me.  It would be
 helpful to explain it, or perhaps to delete it (if it just stands for
 the rest of the URL).

Yes it does mean the rest of the URL. I have deleted it.
 
 While I'm at it, here's the full current text:
 
NOTE: For installations using a web server (CGI) the prefix
should be ???proxy.example.com/apt-cacher/ instead, see
below. For installations with apt-cacher in daemon mode, the
modifications of sources.list can be replaced with a HTTP proxy
setting, see PROXY MODE USAGE below.
 
 And here are some grammatical fixes:
NOTE: For installations using a web server (CGI), the prefix
should be ???proxy.example.com/apt-cacher/ instead; see
below. For installations with apt-cacher in daemon mode, the
modifications of sources.list can be replaced with a HTTP proxy
setting; see PROXY MODE USAGE below.

Thanks,

Mark
