Have you tried Privoxy? <http://www.privoxy.org/>
Works for eCS & dark side, too.

It seems to me that perhaps Steven is not the only one who may know the answer to this one. Bob ? (If the SCOUG server goes down again soon, please reply to my own email address.)

Specifically, anything that requires the use of Javascript &/or Cookies appears to be null and void, so far. (Yes, I did turn them ON, for the period in which they were needed.) This precludes providing any required info, checking checkboxes, etc. Wild Guess here: It *feels like* this may be because even though *I* have Javascript and Cookies going, the Proxy does not, and everything is getting relayed via them. So, it is like I don't actually have them.

I've known for a long time that there are Web Proxy config pages in just about every browser/version -- maybe even going back to NS 2.02 that our feathered friend still uses -- but I don't know much about 'em and have never used them. It would be great if I could find a great tutorial on this somewhere. My search engine searches using the keywords of 'Proxy Server+Javascript+Cookies' and the like have not brought up illuminating hits.
