Here's what I tried:
* I setup SSH tunnel from my Vista desktop's localhost:8080 to
ubuntu.private.lan:80.
* I modified Apache2's <virtualhost *:80> to enable access to /admin
The new non-HTTPS, ssh-tunneled, remote URL to ubuntu.private.lan is:
http://localhost:8080/admin/default/edit/myblog/views/default/index.html
I got same problem again on Firefox and Chrome. Files get saved
successfully, but "Last Saved On" field shows "communication error" in
red background color every time I click Save button.
Next, I'll try using Rocket on Ubuntu, just for debugging this
problem. Rocket won't be approved for production servers here (this
summer), so I hope we can find a solution using Apache 2.2.14.
