[7.460][BUG][NOTABUG] HTTP acces to some sites fail

[javelin]

Hello all.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but since I've upgraded into 7.460, HTTP access to some sites fails.

For example, if I go to yahoo.com, scottrade.com, charles-schwab.com, or bankofamerica.com, the status bar on the browser just stays on "Waiting for blah.com" and it just goes on forever and never times out. If I go to ebay.com, newegg.com or some other sites, there's no problem.

Now that I've restored back to 7.450, access to the aforementioned sites works just fine and response time in split-seconds.

I saved a copy of the HTTP content log on 7.460 and compared with 7.450 accessing yahoo.com and there's no difference.

See the following entries.

7.460:
2009:06:24-22:06:24 sidewall httpproxy[3925]: id="0001" severity="info" sys="SecureWeb" sub="http" name="http access" action="pass" method="GET" srcip="192.168.1.30" user="" statuscode="302" cached="0" profile="REF_DefaultHTTPProfile (Default Proxy)" filteraction="REF_DefaultHTTPCFFAction (Default content filter action)" size="83" time="162 ms" request="0xb186cfd8" url="http://mail.yahoo.com/" exceptions="auth,content,url,mime" error=""

7:450:
2009:06:24-23:16:03 sidewall httpproxy[3889]: id="0001" severity="info" sys="SecureWeb" sub="http" name="http access" action="pass" method="GET" srcip="192.168.1.30" user="" statuscode="301" cached="0" profile="REF_DefaultHTTPProfile (Default Proxy)" filteraction="REF_DefaultHTTPCFFAction (Default content filter action)" size="79" time="190 ms" request="0xa8c028e8" url="http://www.mail.yahoo.com/" exceptions="auth,content,url,mime" error=""

My first thought was the HTTP content. Given that there are no errors and the exceptions objects are identical, I'm thinking it could be something else. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Hi,

there is a different. In 7.460 you get a status code 302 and in 7.450 you get a status code 301.

302 means action move. In most cases for example if you get forwarded from mail.yahoo.com to another url.

301 means that forwarding to another url is permanent

wou will find a good explanation on Status codes in HTTP

But both error codes are normal and should not drop any traffic. If I try to browse your url through the proxy with 7.460 it works without problems. Could you maybe send us some screenshots of your settings?

greetings
