[prssr-devel-ml] Re: HTTP Proxy authentication is not working

Hi David,

Not much luck with this.

After typing "Get / HTTP/1.1" am I meant to hit <enter> and then type
"Host: <proxy" (including the space after the colon), or is it all on
one line? Or is Host meant to be the promt I see in telnet?

Dan
