[OpenLayers-Users] proxy.cgi fails

[Marc Jansen]

Hi Sven,

are you using another proxy to access URLs in your network? I found this 
Mailinglist discussion 
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2008-December/569855.html

If that is still not doing the trick, I',m afraid I am running out of 
ideas soon.

Regards,
Marc
