Comments: Posted by: boinc Date: 4:46 AM 10-06-2006 Upon installation of a fresh install, using BAM for preferences setting and not using the standard global, work, home or school for venue descriptions Boinc (or the updating of the projects) chose to use the last offical venue per updating via a project ie School. The only logic I can think of here is that even though the venue description didn't match "school" (it was "home-irvine2"), it didn't do a bitwise check of the <venue_host> description when trying to assign the venue for a completely brand new PC installation (only arrived yesterday).

I would have thought that the logic would be to assign the venue to "---" since it wasn't a correct match. As you can see even though it did set the venue to school (which had some old preferences entered but no computers ever attached to) once again the API and or Client thinks to just chose general preferences.

Please note that it looks like it's trying to debug the preference settings anyway but comes back with unexpected text with numbers that sort of match my general_prefs.xml file - although not in the order of the file.

2006-10-05 22:24:44 [---] General prefs: using your defaults

where *=Should do a "General prefs: using preferences for school" next line but doesn't. This is the reason I've been asking for a <venue_debug> option.

When doing a new installation with 4 projects attached once I kicked off BAM! to connect to the projects all of a sudden I had 8 connections all trying to download all of the science programmes + work units through a 4Kbs limited connection.

Surely there should be a TOTAL of two connections, not two PER project in this situation?

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
