Re: HTTP Proxy Question

[Matt Gardenghi <mtgarden () gmail com>]

OK.  Let's check a few things.

First, you changed your browser's proxy to use the localhost proxy, 
correct?  So, test your browser on www.google.com.  Trap the requests 
and response and ensure that you are manipulating the traffic at will.  
Second, point one browser through the proxy and the other directly at 
the site.  See if one or the other or both work.  It could be a security 
setting in the browsers objecting to your proxy if the site had 
initiated an SSL connection.  FF3 and IE7 have become annoying if you 
aren't using a MS or Mozilla approved certificate provider. 

Try out those things and let us know.
