Hello!

It uses the java call "InetAddress.getLocalHost ()". By reading the
source to that it seems to use the DNS, but I havent bothered to read
the real implemenation so Im not really sure about that.

Hmmm, this seems odd, dont have any good ideas...

And you still havent told me what response you get.
What does the error_log say, what does the access_log say and what
does the returned web page look like? If you answear theese questions
maybe I can provide more info.

> By the way does the server identity in the  rabbit.conf affects it?
No, that is only a string that is put in error and admin web pages
the proxy generates (well really in the http header of the
responses...)

Not at the moment unless you (or anyone else) provides such a
handler. I dont think it is much simpler to say that "for image
conversion to work you have to either download imagemagick and use
convert or download SomeJarFile and use jconvert".

When RabbIT was build there were no good image converters, convert is
not the fastest but it handles most formats. If I wanted to I could
drop java/1.1 and go for java/1.4+ only then the java advanced
imaging I/O tools I think. Maybee in the future...
