Thanks for the pointer, I didn't know that had been added to Beaker.
I'll take a look at it next week. Re-inventing the wheel is usually not
my first choice :)
It only landed a couple of weeks ago (as part of the Beaker 19 release),
and it took even me a moment to remember the reason I couldn't find the
RFE was because it had been released :)
We also plan to have the RFE for making log files accessible via a HTTP
proxy for non-public lab controllers [1] implemented for Beaker 20.
Cheers,
Nick.
