mod_proxy passes all relevent headers. Even user-agent. But serious web development should never try to depend on the useragent string. (it can and will be faked - and you will have a hard time to know all possible user-agents out there (I occassionally browse as google - you would be surpriced what you see :)) The only hard part is ssl-client certificate or other apache side auth information. Auth-headers (basic auth) are of course passed. _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - [email protected] http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
