It's just sitting here, accepting connections from the softs who adresses 
it. But it does not forward them to the MS Proxy.
The screen debug tells:
With cygwin 1.3.19:
NTLM authorization Proxy Server v0.9.8 at "PRDRBNO:5865".
2001-2002 (C) by Dmitry Rozmanov
Connected from 127.0.0.1:1941
..+.. Finished 127.0.0.1:1941 

With cygwin 1.3.20:
NTLM authorization Proxy Server v0.9.8 at "PRDRBNO:5865".
2001-2002 (C) by Dmitry Rozmanov
Connected from 127.0.0.1:2036 

In the log I have:
With cygwin 1.3.19:
18.02.2003 14:53:27 Version 0.9.8
*** Got client request header.
*** Connecting to remote server...(192.168.4.3:80)...Done.

*** Got remote server response header.
[...Authentication stuff...]

*** No server's data to send to the client. (server's buffer - 0 bytes)

With cygwin 1.3.20, I've just the first line (date/time log).

Yes it does. At least, it does an "import thread" at the beginning of the 
script. As I wrote, I don't know much about python...

I've CC'd the author of APS. 

Thanks,
