Do not use "raw" in your forwarding pattern.

  LOCATION / CALL http://otherhost/dir/ 

The problem is with keep-alive. The relay module does not like it, if the backend server keeps the connection. For some reason, some browsers send a keep-alive request, and if you specify the 'raw' option, it gets handed to the backend server which of course honors it. After a couple of minutes, the browser times out and drops the connection. The connection to the backend is dropped in turn, the browser repeats the request, and from then on everything is fine.

The module is still used by a different module (e.g. “Tab list” uses the “GButton” module).

Roxen/ChiliMoon starts to look in the filesystem with longest mountpoint first. It's only undefined if two modules have the same mountpoint.

e.g. if you have three filesystem with the following mountpoints:

 /foo/bar/gazonk/ 
 /foo/bar/ 
 /foo/ 
 / 

The file /foo/bar/gazonk/file will be searched in the order shown above. For identical mountpoints (e.g. two filesystems mounted at /foo/) you can change the search order if you change the module’s priority settings.

If you include a file with redirect rules by using the '#include <filename>' syntax you must use UNIX-style linebreaks (LF only) in this file.
