ncat as http proxy server, question mark.

Hi folks, I attempted to use ncat (latest svn) as an http proxy on both linux and windows without success: # ncat -l -vvv --proxy-type http localhost 8080 Listening on 127.0.0.1:8080 Set firefox on that machine to connect via 127.0.0.1:8080 and saw zero traffic as a result of any http requests. # ncat -l -vvv --proxy-type http 192.168.1.16 8080 Listening on 192.168.1.16:8080 and directed firefox on another machine to connect via 192.168.1.16:8080. For any http request I see a HTTP 400 Bad Request response of 1024 bytes - 996 of them are null chars. With ncat running as a proxy on a windows machine I notice that a GET request to it is followed immediately by the response and the requisite ACK packet is never issued. The connection is otherwise sound and terminated gracefully. ncat running on Linux doesn't suffer from the missing ACK. I would have liked to have had a look at this in more detail before posting, but regrettably haven't got the time at this point. I also can't get any debugging info from -vvv with the above commands for some odd reason... There's always the possibility that I'm just doing it wrong, but i did RTFM. Honest, guv. Any ideas?
