I don't think that is what I said. If I understand you correctly, your user behind the proxy is seeing this behavior. If no one else is seeing this behavior, I would be more likely to check out what is unique with that environment first.

Since that user is behind a proxy that has the capability to rewrite urls so that they are directed back to a port on the proxy server, I would guess that the probability is quite high that this setting is active on his proxy server.

What mimetype are you using to send the file? According to the documentation cited in my previous post, if the document is HTML, javascript, or XML, URLs will be rewritten by the proxy server. I did not see a definitive statement as to what would happen in other cases.

What I am guessing is happening is this:

You are sending the value of your $baseurl variable to the user via the EZProxy.
The EZProzy is rewriting your URL to something that refers to the proxy server itself
The user sees the address for the EZProxy instead of your address.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
