Re: access control

HI Olivier
    Proxying is working at http://validator.w3.org/, but it doesn't work 
at my installed version (validator-0.6.7).
Do I need to enable any flag or do other setting for the proxying to work??

I don't see a password mismatch error in apache ssl error log file.

Thanks.
