Why not feed the site through the filter dynamically and once some is filtered, send it out to the browser? Before there's anything even to filter, it could say, like, "mapfile retrieved", "DBR root retrieved", although this would tend to confuse newbies. Maybe we need to ship some good documentation available directly from FProxy. -- "I love deadlines.
