There seems to be a problem with scripts and redirection on OSF/1 3.0
as I have received several mails like yours. The real strange thing is
that it is only sometimes the error occurs:
HTLoadScriptResult: Read error, read returns 32
I do not have a OSF/1 3.0 version available as the central system
administrators at CERN know of several bugs in the system so they would
like to wait until this get fixed. It is possible that this problem is
one of them. However, it is not possible for me to test :-(
I cc this mail to the www-proxy list as somebody might have a solution
to the problem?
