I don't know what is the problem but I should say that the relaying with
"/-_-" like "http://delegate/-_-http://www.yahoo.com" is not recommended
for practical use because the way of relaying could have inherent technical
difficulty and the implementation is not maintained enough.

The recommended way is accessing it as "http://delegate/yahoo/" or so by 
explicitly declaring the rewriting of URL, cookies, authentication, and
son on (like a reverse proxy and more) by "MOUNT" parameter as
MOUNT="/yahoo/* http://www.yahoo.com/*"
