I'm writing a program which needs to occasionally act as a proxy server in a
very basic manner.
All's well so far except if I set up a test using IE connecting via my app
to any website, the remote connection gets closed after completing a single
request. I get the initial web page but the follow up files are missed. This
is using http 1.1 which I understand is supposed to be a persistent
connection.
I'm not doing anything to the text, just transferring what IE sends me on to
the intended recipient.
Is there any 'how-to' available on this? I'm wading through the official
protocol specs but I'm not seeing anything that would seem to be a problem.
