The second patch is missing on your server. I cannot download it.

I must be doing something wrong here since git pull claims it is up to date 
and still does not have proxyapp.py

Can you send me the git clone line again so I am using the correct one ?

I will try this when I have all the file. So you want me to try mtweb again, 
not the pxweb you introduced a while back ?

Good to know.

So the cookie stays there and is read in again when the browser gets opened 
agian ?

That you have to explain to me. Two seperate browsers have two seperate 
hexdigest values (which is intended) but closing and reopening does not create 
one despite that I would *assume* that closing and reopening would be equal to 
a thrird or fourth browser ?

Please correct me if I am wrong. Is it correct that the current code handles 
the situation that a connection will not get lost even if the user is inactive 
(but lets the browser window stay open )? Is it also true that the current 
code will handle the situation that when a user closes down the browser he 
will be asked for credentials when opening a new browser instance ?
