HTTP Anti-Virus Proxy

I'm currently running Havp 0.84 as parent to squid cache: we have about 30 machines sharing the same proxy server and internet browsing is OK .

But when I try to update with yum a machine on the network I got many errors similar to the following:


after disabling havp (but still using squid caching) I got (same package):



note the difference between download size.

This seem related to the http://havp.hege.li/forum/viewtopic.php?t=157 issue

How can I fix this?

thanks

It wanting to download a header piece (11kB vs 9.5MB), I would guess it uses HTTP RANGE request and doesn't know what to do when it's not supported.

Does setting RANGE to true fix it? Whitelisting also allows RANGE.

Frankly, I would not bother scanning any linux packages, since it's so remote chance that any malware could exist there. It could not be even found since ClamAV doesn't unpack rpm You should whitelist it at Squid.

Cheers,
Henrik

dear Henrik, thanks for your soon reply.

I did some testing:



RANGE=true was commented out but defaulted to true (isn't it?)

after uncommenting nothing changed, except a new error message from yum:

"Requested Range Not Satisfiable"



I agree, since web browsing works fine as well as downloading of big files....




Great job, thanks again.
