Is there any formal specification for the "a protocol common and very light weight in proxies"? I am asking because I was expecting that is explained in your patch (hopefully in "Frontend/Backend Protocol" chapter) but I couldn't find it in your patch. Also we need a regression test for this feature. Best regards, -- Tatsuo Ishii SRA OSS, Inc. Japan English: http://www.sraoss.co.jp/index_en.php Japanese:http://www.sraoss.co.jp
