• Fixed 80200011, 80244008, 80072f76 errors when using with LegacyUpdate.net or Windows Server Update Services.
  • By default, the fix of 80244008: Unknown error is disabled. To allow work of Legacy Update, set AllowHttpCompression=no in [Server] section of WebOne configuration. The fix may some slow down the proxy, so that's why it isn't used by default.

• Added some "http://ftp://example.com/dir/file.txt" URL-scheme support. Full support for "all-protocol" proxy mode is postponed to later releases.
• Added support for setting custom colors on internal pages. Or, simpler, apply skins to error pages. To enable dark theme, use PageStyleHtml or PageStyleCss settings.

• Added ability to edit Proxy Auto-Configuration script (used to auto-configure clients) via [PAC] section of WebOne configuration file. This can be used to set bypassing proxy for some sites or browsers.
• Added support to using values of HTTP headers in edit sets. Use %Request.User-Agent%, %Response.Location%, %Response.HttpStatusCode% and similar in redirect rules or content find/replace rules. This probably can be useful for reanimating some dead HTTP-based protocols in future.

• Added IE 6 SP1 online setup support for some languages (#72).
