Running bsdstats through a proxy

[Olivier Nicole]

Marc,

On a new machine (FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p6) with bsdstats-6.0_2, I see:

The machine contacts the proxy with: HEAD.http://rpt.bsdstats.org/.
Reply: HTTP/1.0.302Moved.Temporarily

Then the machine contacts the proxy with: GET.http://rpt.bsdstats.org/sc
Reply: HTTP/1.0.500.Internal.Server

Best regards,

Olivier
