(Does anybody now what "owser bug" above should mean? Is this a sign?)
You see it gets the redirect (302) and this happens:
==> GET http://www.spiderplant.net:8080/anticlimax/index_html HTTP/1.0
==> Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, */*
==> Accept-Language: de
==> Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
==> User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT; QXW03336)
==> Host: www.spiderplant.net
==> Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive
Ah, I see - the redirect is happening correctly, but IE is not putting the port number into the Host: header. All is clear. IE bug - should've guessed :) Actually, is it a bug, strictly speaking? Time to have a look throught the rfc's...
Now the Host: header contains the correct portnumber.
As I see it, zope does the right thing... Perhaps you should use proxying instead of a redirect.
Thanks for the detective work, Oliver. Setting up proxying is a little OTT for a personal web site, so I'll just stick to my current frames trick, I think... Thanks for your help, Dan
