[Chameleon] Proxy server getting fed up?

[Paul Spencer]

Jacob, I've never heard of this problem, but I've also not heard of 
anyone using Chameleon in this configuration.

RE the javascript stuff, the jsapi samples in the latest version from 
cvs seem to be working fine.  There'll be a beta 3 release very shortly 
that you could try if you don't want to try the cvs version ;)

Please let us know if you find an answer ...

Cheers,

Paul
