mogilefs with X-Reproxy-Url questions

[marcel evenson]

Hey Guys,

So I finally got X-REPROXY working! After the explanation of how it was 
supposed to all work I was still running into problems. It seems that the 
culprit was the SET web_proxy.verify_backend = on .. I had to turn it off .. 
it was just stalling .. so I guess my webserver (lighttpd) doesn't support 
the "OPTIONS" request. I'll get some more info from Jan (the developer of 
lighttpd) on freenode.

Is it a huge deal not having this on?

Thanks again for taking the time to help a guy out !
Marcel
