Hi Chris,

sorry for the delay, I was all over busy with other things this week.

maybe try to copy _elementpath.pyc just like you did with _elementtree.pyc.
However, maybe something is not correct with the python paths.

I guess I have to restart with a fresh Windows XP and deocument
each step on how to get to a development environment for InteProxy.

we observed that we in fact found no WMS client that uses the full URLs the come as
an answer to GetCapabilities. Only the path, not the host, is taken to build the new requests.
Thus, the problem practically did never appear over here.
There might exist client who get troubled though indeed. In case we find one, we can add
a request-rewrite.

However, using the HTTP-Proxy method does avoid this problem anyway.

In which aspects are you interested most?

Best
