win32 5.10.16 of BOINC : Same Problem

[davea]

Please specify the proxy type and authentication method.

I use a corporate HTTP Proxy on port 8080 with Boinc

when i use Seti project or rosetta, no problem When i use WCG, download some files (not all) is impossible. I suppose a problem with HTTPS tunnel with HTTP proxy on BOINC

On the same computer, i try to use UD agent of WCG and specify a HTTPS proxy and it's OK, working units are correctly download.

Ignore 273 bytes of response-body

This usually means that the proxy is returning an extended error message - for example, telling you that HTTPS isn't allowed, or that the password is incorrect. I think this should be kicked back to support before being treated as a bug.

Or can the error message be saved somewhere for troubleshooting purposes?

nico4485, you can use wireshark to log the communication and get a low-level view of the problem. If you can't analyse it yourself, create a trace and make it available to the WCG or BOINC support people.

Tested from behind NTLM authentication HTTP proxy, port 8080. Win32 Boinc 5.10.20. (Without [http_debug] flag.)

The first connection (a project update) came through, but later nothing: project updates fail with "Scheduler request failed: server returned nothing (no headers, no data)", ref sites checks - all failed, upload/download files - all failed.

I'll try [http_debug] flag and Wireshark sometimes later.

Formatted log correctly, and removed private information from it (the proxy password).
