2.4.1-pre8, webbrowsers and proxies...

[Svein Erik Brostigen <svein.brostigen@oracle.com>]

Hi all!

After compiling and booting into 2.4.1-pre8, I found some strange
behaviour. I was not able to connect to any website using a http proxy.

The message I get back is: "... connection was refused by the server".
If I remove the proxy setting, everything works fine.
I have tried the following browsers: Netscape 4.75, Opera 40b5, lynx and
Konquerer. All is showing the same behaviour.

Here is output from strace on a failed connection using lynx:
1638  wait4(1640, [WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 0], WNOHANG, NULL)
= 1640
1638  close(4)                          = 0
1638  rt_sigaction(SIGTSTP, {SIG_IGN}, {0x4003e4b0, [],
SA_RESTART|0x4000000}, 8) = 0
1638  poll([{fd=0, events=POLLIN}], 1, 0) = 0
1638  poll([{fd=0, events=POLLIN}], 1, 0) = 0
1638  write(1, "\r\33[0;1m\17\33[33m\33[44mMaking HTT\33[15"..., 74) =

1638  ioctl(4, FIONBIO, [1])            = 0
1638  connect(4, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(80),
sin_addr=inet_addr("206.223.27.62")}}, 16) = -1 EINPROGRESS 1638

20000})
1638  connect(4, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(80),
sin_addr=inet_addr("206.223.27.62")}}, 16) = -1 ECONNREFUSED 1638

1638  poll([{fd=0, events=POLLIN}], 1, 0) = 0
1638  poll([{fd=0, events=POLLIN}], 1, 0) = 0
1638  write(1, "\r\33[0;1m\17\33[33m\33[41mAlert!: Unable"..., 84) =
84                                                     

Here is the output from a successfull connection without a proxy using
lynx:
