mod_proxy does work, entered exactly as Alexander wrote it above, but
only for the initial login page, in which I can successfully log in.
But after that I get "http://myserver.net/session_login.cgi" as the
url in the browser address field, and (as expected):
404 Not Found
The requested URL /session_login.cgi was not found on this server
I would guess that I now need to locate where the Usermin files are
and Alias the directory in httpd.conf.(?) I guess my main problem is
not understanding how or why some web services use port access rather
than sub-directories; and more importantly how that works...
