What's proxy?
« on: July 30, 2004, 02:47:44 PM »
What exactly is proxy, and why won't Ibrowse allow me to type it in properly?
(http proxy doesn't allow the forward slash to be typed in, dodgy mui library maybe?)

It does. Proxy consits of two parts: hostname and port. Hostname can't have slash(es).
