What does this do? Seems to being stopping some sites from loading without refreshing them, only some sites are bad. CloseLocal = false fixes the problems.
Thanks Charlie

http://www.proxomitron.info/45/docs/Changes.txt Wrote:* Added persistent connection support to local connections as well
as remote. For best results make sure your browser is set to use
HTTP/1.1 through the proxy and has pipelining enabled (if it's an
option). Also I recommend about 6-8 simultaneous connections. With
this, Proxomitron now supports nearly all of HTTP/1.1's optional
features.
For this to work Proxomitron must make heavy use of "chunked"
encoding since we can't know the size of a filtered item ahead of
time. This shouldn't be a problem, but it's possible some browsers
may not expect so many items to be "chunked" - especially images.
In testing Mozilla seems to have some random problems with chunked
encoding if pipelining is enabled, but the flaw doesn't seem to be
in Proxomitron's handling of things (Pipelining support in Mozilla
is new and may still be a bit buggy). Opera, which also heavily
pipelines, seem ok.
HTTP/1.0 persistence is also supported. However, since Proxomitron
frequently makes changes to an item's content-length and HTTP/1.0
does not allow for chunked encoding, fewer requests may be able
to persist if your filtering.
Local persistence can be turned off if necessary and it's keep-alive
time adjusted under the HTTP tab of the Config dialog. By default
local connections are killed after 10 seconds of inactivity. That
should be fine in most cases since new local connections are fairly
fast to create, but you may wish to increase this - especially if
you're using Proxomitron remotely over a LAN.

That's related to the "Local connections persist for:" option in the "HTTP" tab of the settings dialog.
"CloseLocal = TRUE" is "Local connections persist for:" disabled.

Have you enabled HTTP/1.1 through the proxy?
It's a browser setting.
