Re: connect to zOGI without apache

I found out the cause of the problem using the SSH tunnel.  It appears to 
be to do with the 'Expect: 100-Continue' header. 

I could see that 100 was the code being returned via Apache, but nothing 
else would come through curl.  I often got "empty reply from server".

Finally after reading up on this header in "HTTP: the definitive guide", I 
saw that proxies might cause problems when this header is involved, and 
the tunnel is acting as a kind of proxy.  By adding the above header to 
the curl request, everything works through the tunnel.

I'd still be interested to know if it's possible to communicate directly 
with zOGI.  It would mean that I could remove Apache from my 
configuration, so that's one less thing to deal with.

regards,

Bernard
