Flash, xml and iwproxy

System

Hi Devnetters -
I've got a Flash-based site in a workarea that I can look at fine with the iPlanet web server I use as the port 81 Content web server, but will not correctly virtualize when viewed through the port 80/1080 proxy server.

This Flash file loads in some xml to define some of its parameters & one parameter loaded is the location of a 2nd xml file and this is where the process is failing.

I've been running the proxy in debug mode to view the GET commands being sent to the web server, and when the GET for the 2nd xml file comes up, it's missing the directory that had been dynamically built by reading the first xml file.

For instance, the GET statement using iPlanet directly is
GET .../xmldata/DIR/data.xml,
then the GET statement using the proxy will be
GET ../xmldata//data.xml.
Note the missing AP

This is on a Solaris machine with TS 552, SP1 and iPlanet 4.1with the iPlanet redirector installed.

I'm trying to track down why the proxy access is behaving this way. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
