All,
At least in version 2 of the Netscape HTTP Proxy there is a problem.
The proxy does not handle outbound binary data very well. Outbound
requests that contains an 0xFF are truncated at the 0xFF. Inbound
traffic works fine. This (I hope) is a bug in this particular version
of the Netscape Proxy Server. (the current version is 2.5 and a
prerelease of 3.5 is available) Just a heads up for anyone else testing
with a Netscape proxy in there way.

Pete
