Thanks for you answers so far. My plugin doesn't install yet though
because I get a load timeout. All the resources referenced in the HTML
load fine but somebody seems to make an AJAX request to the following
page:
/?oahpv=openajax-2.0.2&oahi=http://domain.com/&oaht=SJECTJ&oahu=http://127.0.0.1:8080/openajax/release/all/tunnel.html&oahpm=
What does this mean? What do I have to implement in addition?
Cheers
Philippe
