Stumped upon this issue recently:

A BOINC host connected through UMTS/3G WiFi? router is receiving modified JPEG images, due to provider settings. Normally, checking the "skip image file verification" in BOINC Manager has no effect, because the compressed images end up smaller than 5000 bytes which revokes the bad proxy detection code in BOINC manager.

As a result, the host is unable to complete the download of the affected jpeg files, not being able to compute, although it receives work and reports back normally.

See this BOINC message board thread for more information.

Comments: Posted by: jivedude Date: 11:43 AM 11-14-2006 5.4.11 is not able to upload files to boinc over a proxy with NTLM authentication. The proxy is both supporting basic and NTLM authentication. While the download func. (HTTP GET) uses the basic auth func. directly (checked with Ethereal) the upload func. (HTTP POST) first tries without auth. gets a 407 proxy auth required. And then tries the NTLM negotiation, but here it goes wrong. It sends the first negotiation, but instead of just sending the headers it sends the whole POST Stream. The proxy answers after the first TCP packet with a NTLM Challenged, but then receives all the other TCP packets with the POST body data, where the proxy interprets this as illegal data and sends a 400 Bad Request (The data is invalid).

I'll send a text file with the ethereal trace with this bug report

Problem: Configured php tasks (update_*.php) fail because run_in_ops can't find the files. I'm using a bash shell and already added ./ to my PATH variable.

Solution: Add './' before '${*}' in run_in_ops line 2. Now the php files are executed. This shouldn't affect other shells.
