5.4.11 problem with proxy authentication

[Ageless]

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
