One last question. I have read almost all of the help pages on the plone site about setting up zope behind apache, and one of them recommended this addition to the apache config: # prevent the webserver from being used as proxy <LocationMatch "^[^/]"> Deny from all </LocationMatch> Is it necessary? Also, (ok, two questions...;-) ) how can I test if my server is acting as an open proxy from the command line - my server does not have X running? I google that, and found one reference that suggested telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 80 GET http://www.yahoo.com HTTP/1.1 If yahoo is returned, then it is acting as an open proxy. Are there other ways? Thanks! Mark
