Omniweb 0.9.3 across the TIS http-gw problem

Sat Feb 11 18:35:16 PST 1995

I've just installed the TIS http-gw on our firewall. Till now we've used the CERN daemon running
in proxy mode.

For most users (netscapies) this is a fine solution. But for myself running Omniweb, I get strange
pages back from the browser. Everybody knows what http://www.omnigroup.com/ looks like, well
take a gander at the following source to the pages.

The first copy is when the page is retrieved via the TIS http-gw proxy. Note the initial section before
the <html> tag. Normally this is hidden from the user. But for some reason, OmniWeb considers it
part of the page.

Since I'm a paranoid sort, I have included the page when retrieved via the CERN proxy. It doesn't include 

the first part.

Ideally I want to run only one http proxy on the firewall and I'd prefer it not to be a full server doing the
proxies. 

Another thing that occurs through the TIS proxy is the graphics don't load. None of them. They get transfered
to the client but display the crossed-out icon. When I check the console log I see nothing related to Omniweb

Help eh!
