Subject: Problem with port number in URLs via CERN httpd proxy server
I'm running the CERN httpd (3.0) as a proxy, to provide a local cache.
This works fine. However, it fails to retrieve a document where the
URL provided by the user includes a non-standard port number. A
specific example is http://www.nag.co.uk:70/ which provokes httpd to
return a "Fatal error 500: ... system call 'connect' failed" page.
This URL works when a direct connection is made, avoiding the
proxy. Is this something I can get round by suitable configuration?
I can't see anything about this in the FAQ or bug list.
