I have managed to get Jigsaw 1.0alpha5 running as a proxy with
JDK 1.0.2 on an Alpha running Digital Unix 4.0.

Initially, I encountered the same problems Peter did, but these
were due to my consistent use of the wrong URL to configure the
server. I used the URL http://xxx:8001/ (as you would for a
local Web server on machine xxx), but you HAVE TO use the full
URL, i.e., http://a.b.c.d:8001/ (that is the one which Jigsaw
produces when you start it the first time from the command line).

Th error consistently reproduces with Jigsaw under Windows 95
(JDK 1.1.3).
