Woops!  I typo'd that last message.  Sorry!

Yes, we are addressing https://rr-n1-tor.opensrs.net/manage/index -- NOT the RWI.
All of our agents which address the RWI work perfectly.  Once again, I suspect that
this is because the RWI doesn't employ server redirects as indicated by a lack of
"action=" or other variables in the URLs to those form handlers.
