Ah, thanks Alexander, that is actually very useful, as now I would like to get the negotiation working across a reverse proxy (which I think is not possible in the way I'd like to- I took it to https://github.com/modauthgssapi/mod_auth_gssapi/issues/201 , but I'm not sure that's the best place).

BTW, I think this tidbit is not mentioned in the howtos in the wiki. I think the wiki is not publicly editable, right? Could someone make a visible note about that (the link to the RFC is quite interesting)?

Cheers,

Álex
