Where can I find something about welldefined environment names for
gateway definition. Till now I use WWW_http_GATEWAY to define one for
http gateway and we have implemented a gateway/cache server on base
of NCSAs http-1.1.
Is http_proxy another name, a new name and has it the same funtionality?

What does the client send to the proxy or gateway. For WWW_http_GATEWAY
it was such like
GET /server:port/path
for a URL: http://server:port/path.

PS: We use http-caching for nearly 8 weeks and users won't miss it. I
would be happy if all clients know about a gateway definition.
Till know we use mosaic2.1 and lynx who know that and I miss it in
WinMosaic.
