Someone should note (so I will) that proxy use of the CERN httpd is very different than using it as a server itself. Not that you can't do both, but I think maybe you can't do both with the same instance. One typical proxy configuration is use of the 'term' socket tunneling across a link, since NetScape is not source recompilable for 'term' support. The typical recommended usage is on a firewall machine where outgoing connections are not allowed (perhaps without the knowledge that you can filter incoming packets without the response bit to allow outgoing connections without allowing incoming ones?).
