[lively-kernel] proxy put requests from localhost to webwerkstatt

[Jens Lincke]

Hi,
I found my problem, but I don't think there is an solution because digest authentication does not work together with the url rewriting and proxy approach.

As far as I understood computes the browser an hash from username, password, random number from server and the url.

Since the browser computes the hash based on the "lcoalhost/proxy/remotehost.com/path" url but not the actual  url the hash and the url are different.... and the server answers with a 400 bad request.

And I wondered why there was nothing in google on that topic :-( 

Any Ideas how we ant to let our machines talk to each other? I could always run a node.js server which can do the request for me ;-)

Best,
Jens
