Yes, 200 is the status code, the dash is the content-length (which was not set by the server in this case) and 3177 is the time it took in milliseconds.

It's strange. A missing http_proxy normally results in blocked connections or timeouts due to firewall restrictions. An empty image as a response looks more like the source WMS "blocks" the requests (by server IP, user-agent, typo in password, etc.). A well behaved server should respond with 401 or 403 in this case, but thats theory...

@Karsten: Can you curl the image from your MapProxy server?

curl --user yourusername "http://geo.myserver.org/proxy.php?layers=images&width=600&version=1.1.1&bbox=4268292.15725,5251787.80344,4638833.19507,5730276.96684&service=WMS&format=image%2Fpng&styles=&srs=EPSG%3A31468&request=GetMap&height=775" -o /tmp/out.png -D - -s
