Hi Henrik,

Obviously it's not the ":" and I wish I would've searched the mailing list 
earlier ;)

    # /usr/libexec/hobbit/server/bin/bbtest-net
    2010-10-08 14:31:38 Malformed URL - no 'scheme:' in 'http-proxy-tcp'
    2010-10-08 14:31:38 Invalid URL for http test - ignored: 
    cont=postgresql;http://my.athabascau.ca/http-proxy-tcp;0
     
Changed that to:

    cont=postgresql;http://my.athabascau.ca/tohack;0

and it works well.


Do you have any plans to release an update?

Thanks,
Viorel
