Dumm, dumm, dumm error. i seem to forget everything I learned sometimes. The thing is I'm not used to proxies and I completely forgot to check the table.
Anyway, SSL can't be checked by me I don't get anything through the proxy. Schade.
I wanted to see how it works first hand.
I 'd also like to know if Netscape works just with Netscape servers or with the Apache SSL too.
