I put some debug logging into medusa to dump everything sent or 
received by Zope. Now I can see exactly what the difference is 
between using the proxy server and going direct, and it looks to me 
like a problem with Zope, but I don't know for sure and would 
appreciate some advice.

In the following dump accesses to www.rcp.co.uk are direct, 
dales.rmplc.co.uk is accessed via the proxy. The data is exactly as I 
logged it, except that I have obscured part of the authentication 
string. The first POST request is via the proxy and Zope rejects it as 
a bad request. The second POST is direct and is accepted.
