Hi Florian!

It indeed seems to work flawlessly now.
Thanks a lot!   :-)

One of the bots scraping information from the tracker HTML pages is
actually a script that I manually run once a day (or less)...   :-/
It just requests three tracker pages and does everything else locally,
hence I hope it does not cause any significant overload.

I use it to update a graphical plot of the number of open
vulnerabilities (in unstable, testing, and stable) versus time.
I tried to propose its integration into the tracker in the past, but
apparently there was not enough interest, so I went on running it by
myself.


Bye and thanks again for fixing the tracker proxy error issue!
