There are a few problems with this version of tinyproxy, but I'm hoping It's been a few months since I release the 1.4.3 version. That's
the benefits outweigh the negative. For some reason tinyproxy is not a bit longer than I want to take with this release (which I originally

As for the next release (1.5.0), I will not be adding new features. Now, I've tested the request related code personally with all the
tinyproxy doesn't currently conform correctly to either the HTTP/1.0 configurations I can think of, but I can't claim that it will work
or the HTTP/1.1 standards. The goal of the 1.5 release therefore is perfectly with _every_ configuration and _every_ site. So, please

looked at the tinyproxy code you will have noticed that all the real any problems you've noticed.
work of the proxy is performed in the reqs.c file. Therefore, other
than bug fixes in the other files, only reqs.c should be changed in
the 1.5.0 release. Basically, I'm hoping to just gut and replace the
reqs.c file with a standards compliant version and release a new version.
Depending on my schedule I should have the new version ready for Robert James Kaes
pre-testing sometime next week. If you have any suggestions for improving April 8, 2002
tinyproxy please let me know, but I will not be incorporating them until
1.6 (which _hopefully_ should come out fairly quickly after 1.5 has
stabilised.)
"Thank you" go out to all who have helped find bugs in the 1.4.3
candidates. You know who you are, and if you don't look in the ChangeLog
for your name. :)
