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)?
Can you point me
to a page where you want it added?
