Re: Problem setting proxy
Maybe add a debug flag to the <log_flags> section of the cc_config.xml to see if this brings anything else to light within BOINC

<proxy_debug>1</proxy_debug>

The 5.10 BOINC menu has an option "Read Config" which loads the file without having to restart the client.


Sorry, but I can't find this file. confused
The only xml files I have in Boinc directory are:
account_www.worldcommunitygrid.org.xml
all_projects_list.xml
all_projects_list_temp.xml
client_state.xml
client_state_prev.xml
get_current_version.xml
get_project_config.xml
global_prefs.xml
global_prefs_override.xml
lookup_account.xml
master_www.worldcommunitygrid.org.xml
sched_reply_www.worldcommunitygrid.org.xml
sched_request_www.worldcommunitygrid.org.xml
statistics_www.worldcommunitygrid.org.xml

and (in subdirectory ........\BOINC\slots\0
init_data.xml
wcg_ad4-result.xml


and noone of these files has a string <log_flags> inside

However, in ............ I found:

<proxy_info>
<use_http_auth/>
<socks_version>5</socks_version>
<socks_server_name></socks_server_name>
<socks_server_port>80</socks_server_port>
<http_server_name>proxyname</http_server_name>
<http_server_port>3128</http_server_port>
<socks5_user_name></socks5_user_name>
<socks5_user_passwd></socks5_user_passwd>
<http_user_name>myusername</http_user_name>
<http_user_passwd>mypassword</http_user_passwd>
</proxy_info>

Re: Problem setting proxy
Which tells me nothing, I'm afraid. I need to know what the proxy software is.

Anyway, if you make sure you are using BOINC 5.10.20 and have set up the logging Sekerob recommended (and http_debug as well), then please will you provide a complete message log from when it starts up onwards?

Thank you.

If the cc_config.xml file doesn't exist, then create it and put this in it:

<cc_config>
  <log_flags> 
    <proxy_debug>1</proxy_debug>
    <http_debug>1</http_debug>
  </log_flags>
  <options />
</cc_config>


Done.
In order to have a clean log I closed and restarted BOINC, and it's all the messages:

Re: Problem setting proxy
Thank you.

Well, this is unusual. There are no proxy errors - instead, there seems to be a DNS problem. This will require some thought.

Ok, thank you for your support.

If it can be usefull for you, the same problem occurs on different machines in my factory when i try boinc agent, on the same machines ud agent works well, and BOINC agent works well when I use my notebook with a direct internet connection (adsl) at home.

In the BOINC options, can you double check that you have the check box to use HTTP proxy 'Checked'? I have just run the same config setup, and got the proxy connections.

Re: Problem setting proxy
My company uses an ISA server and requires authorization.
Now with UD I can choose HTTPS instead of HTTP proxy (which internally must make a difference or something).
The HTTPS proxy runs on a different port (443) than the standard HTTP proxy (which is port 8080).
So can I just say that BOINC has to use Port 443 in the HTTP proxy config? I think not because there's a difference between HTTP and HTTPS traffic.
Anyway, using the same settings with username and password in BOINC client just gives the following error:
HTTP/1.1 407 Proxy Authentication Required

Why can't BOINC just include a https proxy config?

Re: Problem setting proxy
And I seem to have found something funny.
I seem to be able to connect via http and attach a project and download some files which are all on http servers.
But then BOINC also want's to download some files of a https server.
This is the problem I think.
With the ISA server http is on port 8080 but https is on port 443.
So it can't download the https stuff (the workunit!) and gives a message saying:
HTTP error: fault when receiving data from the peer
(It want's to talk http to an SSL server, not good!)

Re: Problem setting proxy
The DOWNLOADS can run on port 8080.

Port 443 must be open for the secure UPLOADS.

We also assume that permission has been given from the company and the security folks to do all of this.

Re: Problem setting proxy
retsof, not helping :-p - downloads and uploads are both encrypted.

DvE, based on my sketchy proxy knowledge, I would expect it to work just fine with the http proxy on 8080. All other proxies work that way - the SSL connection is simply forwarded by the proxy, and the proxy can't decrypt the information passing between client and server.

I'm not familiar with the concept of using different proxies for http and https communication.

If you want me to help further, you will have to provide a WireShark trace so I can analyse the whole connection. Often the proxy returns extended error information that helps solve problems like this.
