Hi -- and sorry to those people who have sent me e-mail that I haven't
responded to recently -- it's holiday time!

You are spot on with the problem. I'll fix this in the forthcoming 2.6
(stable) release.

    Regards,
        Neil

  Hello,

  Thanks for your excellent Zebedee tool. Combined with TightVNC it should
be extremely useful...

  In attempting to use the httpproxy capability, however, I believe that I
have encountered a problem: immediately after successfully establishing a
connection, zebedee closes the connection and terminates execution.

  It appears that the strncmp comparison used to determine an OK response
(i.e., with "HTTP/1.0 200") that is intended to consider all responses above
200 to indicate an error, also incorrectly considers "HTTP/1.1 200" to
indicate an error as well.

  As I am not really a C programmer, I may be incorrect, and I do not have a
Windows C development environment to rebuild Zebedee to test my hypothesis.
I am attaching two text files: one containing the last zebedee Windows
Application event log message before termination, and one containing the
zebedee code that I suspect is causing my problem. (I don't seem to get the
"message(0,0..." message in my log -- not sure why not...)

  Again, thank you very much for your work; please let me know what you
think.

  Regards,

  Norm Petterson
