I just tried to get http://www.w3.org/Team/2000/03/Amsterdam.html proxied thru jigedit, and I got: "Error: Server or network forced libwww to downgrade to HTTP/0.9 for this host. Please quite Amaya.w3" What the heck is that? Could you please just cut out that part of libwww? As I recall, libwww keeps a cache of info that it knows about various hosts, in an attempt to interoperate with old broken servers. The problem is, as I recall, there's no way to refresh that cache. Once it learns something, you're stuck. I'd rather have it just assume HTTP 1.1 and deal with any problems that arise... i.e. treat HTTP like the stateless protocol that it is. I hope we don't hack amaya to deal with broken HTTP servers and HTML pages to the point that it forgets how to deal with servers and pages that are not broken ;-) -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/
