[JDEV] 1.4.2-test tarball, HTTP proxy, and zero-k auth case sensitivity

[Piers Harding]

 Hi Jeremie,

Hows tricks?

I have tried building this on HP-UX 11.0 ( 32 bit and 64 bit ), but I still get that problem with the pth. - not sure what it is, but I remember mucking about with the pth test suite a few weeks back, and I got to a point where it seemed to me that setting thread priorities was a problem?

Any ideas?

Cheers.
