Re: Release 2002 and Proxy rewrite

[Vinaya Tripuraneni <tripuran@xxxxxxxxxx>]

John,

The rewrite method doesn't work in AOL browsers. AOL users have
to use another browser. The part that is an "improvement" is they
don't need to configure that browser. We changed all our links to
reflect the rewrite method and Netscape 6.x users were having trouble
connecting to our databases if they had previously configured their
browsers. Removing the old configuration was the solution. So we
posted instructions on our web site asking Netscape 6.x users to
remove the previous configuration if they were having difficulties
connecting.
