[mod_python] Error in reading remote server file with HTTP

Hello All,

Please guide me with the issue. I have tried all the ways to overcome the problem but was not able to solve it.
Now I am thinking to give all the permissions required to read the files from remote server to browser but not getting 
Exact permission required.


Thanks & Regards,
Rahul

Thanks Bond,

But can you help me elaborating what kind of permission is required to

So that i can make necessary changes.

Thanks
