HTTP Anti-Virus Proxy

In version .83 the following works. In version .85 it fails. The ChangeLog says there were changes to proxying in .84. I skipped .84. I have worked around this by switching 192.168.1.2 back to HAVP version .83, but this bug needs to be fixed.

PROBLEM: The URL cannot be found, so the web server returns a 502 error. The browser continually to tries to get the non-existing file - I think because HAVP never lets it see the 502 error. (I think the browser would just give up trying if it got the 502).

SCENARIO: The browser proxies Privoxy on port 8118 (192.168.1.1:8118). Privoxy forwards (to a different computer) to HAVP on port 8080 (192.168.1.2:8080). HAVP on 192.168.1.2 has this configuration:
SERVERNUMBER 16
LOG_OKS false
PARENTPROXY 192.168.1.1
PARENTPORT 3128
BIND_ADDRESS 192.168.1.2
TEMPLATEPATH /etc/havp/templates/en
WHITELIST /etc/havp/whitelist
BLACKLIST /etc/havp/blacklist
ENABLECLAMLIB true
ENABLECLAMD false
ENABLEFPROT false
ENABLEAVG false
ENABLEAVESERVER false
ENABLESOPHIE false
ENABLETROPHIE false
ENABLENOD32 false

The Apache access log on 192.168.1.1 is full of:
192.168.1.2 - 189 [13/Mar/2007:08:17:49 -0700] "GET http://64.49.222.57/0.gif HTTP/1.0" 502 510

So HAVP runs only on the .2 computer, while Privoxy and Apache run on the .1 computer.

Further information or remote access is available if necessary.

There are no changes in the proxying stuff, HAVP does not hide 502 errors. So not sure whats causing it, besides a bad client.

PS. Typo in ports? 8118 vs 3128..

Try it with wget, It's a bit more verbose..

export http_proxy=http://192.168.1.2:8080/
wget http://64.49.222.57/0.gif

That's not what the changelog says.


Furthermore, you did not read very carefully what I wrote. I said
so this question says to me that you either failed to comprehend what I said or that you did not read what I said.


The bug is not imaginary, and .83 works around it.

I guess I would know, since I added the few lines of code. I can't find any changes that would hide a 502 error.



Sorry for spending my free time to help you. I guess I will start a paid support, to give more time for understanding.

Next time you reply, please have some actual data like the wget. And test other browsers etc.
