Fileserve Blocked via Transparent Proxy.

I have been having problems downloading files off fileserve.com. When I try it gives a CATCHPA error.
After a bit of research it seems that fileserve.com has been blacklisted by the IWF and as a result, all requests for files are routed through a transparent proxy meaning all UK users have the same IP address (or a very small number of IP addresses) resulting in this CATCHPA error.
Is anyone else on BT having problems with fileserve? Would someone at BT confim that this is in fact the case?
Thanks

What the **bleep**?
I was pointing out that it's happening again, the first time was March, as from the post dates..
Now, 8 months later it's happening again.
Why is it pointless to comment and make people aware that BT are screwing us over again?
(oh.. that was a stupid question.. the answer is obvious.)
Hi.
I can connect to www.fileserve.com ok, is it something deeper than that ?
Can you give the exact details of the blocking you are seeing ? If it is the IWF, then I'm afraid that's the problem for fileserve.com to sort out.

IPhoto '08 Book upload errors with squid transparent proxy - tip

Hi folks
I've just "solved" a problem I was having with iPhoto Book uploads. The solution may apply to other publishing products from iPhoto and possibly iDisk uploads too.
My firewall & proxy setup is basically Linux iptables redirecting all outbound http (port 80) connections to a dansguardian filter, which in turn is passed onto a squid instance running as a transparent proxy (oh, and there's a privoxy in this all too!). Yeah, OK, I know, slightly paranoid, but I don't want my children accidently browsing stuff I don't think they are old enough for yet!
Now I had the problem before with iPhoto '06 as well, but at the time just didn't have the time or inclination to figure out what the problem was, and just did the book order and upload from the office, where it went through without a problem. This time I decided to dig a bit and see what was happening. The clue that triggered off the solution was watching the part of the order process where the book data is uploaded. In my default setup, the upload bar would scream through to 100%, and then sit there for ages, before coming back with a connection error. Watching the network flashy lights on the NIC on the firewall though, it suddenly dawned on me that what was happening was that the upload was screaming through to the squid (as there was no outbound network activity from the firewall while this was happening) and then sitting there waiting for squid to pass it on to the Apple site (as shown by the outbound NIC activity light suddenly going bonkers once the uoload bar hit 100%).
So clearly there's a problem sending book orders via a squid proxy setup as a transparent proxy. It might also very well be dansguardian interfering and wanting to take the entire upload and checking it before passing it on to squid. I already have site exception setup for all apple.com urls though in dansguardian, so didn't think it would be that. I thought about dicking around with the squid acl's but didn't have the enthusiasm to spend half the day getting that working.
So what I did in the end was tail the squid logs to see what was being proxied whilst the book order was going on, and then dropped in 3 new rules in my iptables setup just before the redirect rule. Tried ordering the book again, and voila!
The three rules I inserted were:
$IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -s ! 10.1.1.1 -p tcp -d mercury.apple.com -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -s ! 10.1.1.1 -p tcp -d configuration.apple.com -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -s ! 10.1.1.1 -p tcp -d publish.mac.com -j ACCEPT
The "-s ! 10.1.1.1" bit is obviously particular to my setup, as I wouldn't want connections from the router itself being proxied, so that may need to either be customised or left out altogether. These three rules are then immediately followed by the redirect:
$IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -s ! 10.1.1.1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8081
Hope that is of some help to someone out there!

Can not add Exceptions to Transparent proxy

Hello all,
I am sure this is simple but I can not figure out what has changed to cause this. Currently, I can not add items to the exception list in HTTP Transparent Proxy.
I only see refresh and close buttons on the screen - no Apply changes.
I have 2 BM servers and one I have access to without issues but the other does not work.
It definitely worked at some point in time because it has 25 entries but has since stopped.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Steve D.

Push data from BW 3.5 to XI 3.0 via ABAP proxy

Hi,
I have the following scenario: I´m in BW 3.5 trying to send data to XI 3.0 via ABAP proxy. I´ve already found a "How-to" to do build this scenario, but something does not work. I think that problem is when a try do the logon from BW to XI because I got the message "logon data not provided" on http service in XI. I´ve already configure an RFC Destination(SM59) as R/3 connection(type 3) and another as HTTP connection to R/3(type H) and both are correct. Someone knows where I configure the user/pass to logon from BW Intergration Server to XI Integration Server?

How do I send HTTP request to a server via a proxy server in JDK 1.4?

JDK 1.5 's URL class provides an overloaded version of openConnection() which accepts an object of type Proxy using which we can establish connection with a remote server via a proxy server, but JDK 1.4 doesn't provide any such overloaded version. How do I do that in JDK 1.4? Even if I had a class that can create HTTP packets for me, then I could have established Socket connection with the proxy server and sent the HTTP packet to it. Is there a way to do that also?

There are some system properties, which can be set with System.setProperty [http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/net/properties.html]

How to Displaying Employee Photo in ESS Who's Who via Reverse Proxy?

Dear Gurus,
I have a bit of problem to displaying employee's photo in ESS Who's Who via Reverse Proxy.
In my landscape, end-users are only able to reach the Reverse Proxy server, not the actual SAP server itself.
In Who's Who, when displaying the employee's info, the URI for the photo is generated using the actual SAP server name.
Illustration:
- the URI we expect: https://portal.domain.com/sap/bc/contentserver?.....
- the URI we get: http://r3server.domain.com/sap/bc/contentserver?....
Does anyone know where/how I can set the URL (hostname and protocol part) to refer to my reverse proxy?
Or is it because SAP is using an absolute path rather than the relative one?
How do we go about it?
Thanks in advance.

Dear Barinbhai,
How are you? We are fine at here!!!

How to configure Transparent proxy on solaris 10, x86

Dear All,
I am trying to configure a transparent proxy on solaris 10, x86 system.
Can any body tell me the direction that i have to follow. I want to configure it through Sun java web proxy server 4.
Thanks and waiting for your kind reply.

The thread was from quite some time. You mentioned that transparent proxy functionaliity was scheduled to be a part of one of the service packs. Have this happened yet? I cannot see it in the documentation nor i the admin GUI, but I might be looking in the wrong place.
I'm running version: 4.0.5 B04/18/2007 11:01
Kind regards

Update/Insert mode couldn't apply to SQL Server source via Transparent Gateway.

Hi all,
OWB version is 9.0.2.56,database version is 9i Release 2.
When set load type to "Insert",mapping works fine from SQL Server to Oracle table,via Transparent Gateway 901.
But "Update/Insert" always runs error with "Fatal error or maximum number of errors exceeded".while I define both source and destination table to oracle tables in mapping,"Update/Insert" works file.
Any suggestion?

Hi Ignor,
Thanks for your reply!
The SQL Server version is SQL Server 2000.
I just want to ETL data from a SQL Server table via Transparent gateway into oracle table,the source table has a increment seq field,so I want to define mapping using update/insert loading method in OWB,according to this seq field,if there is the same seq in the target table,do update,if not,insert the row.I just find out that if I use a middle table in oracle to do truncate/insert mode from SQL Server source table,then do update/insert mode from the middle one to target table,it works.But can't do directly from source to target using update/insert mode.Does this means update/insert mode only apply to mapping from local table to local table?

Robbin

System-wide Transparent Proxy With URL Patterns

Internet censorship -where I live- has almost turned web unusable so I decided to setup a transparent proxy using Tor for my home network.
Since Tor is so slow -here- proxying all traffic through Tor would slow my connection to a crawl. Therefore I need a mechanism to selectively proxy the traffic.
I know a bit of 'iptables' and it looks to me like the solution to my problem. However there's a trick. As most of the websites I need to access through Tor (like Google+, Facebook and such) use several IP addresses for their entry points, it's almost impossible for me to add 'iptables' rules for all of those IP addresses. I need a mechanism to proxy the traffic based on URL patterns. For example I need to be able to proxy access to '*.facebook.com' through Tor.
So the question boils down to: how can I setup a system-wide transparent proxy using URL patterns?
Any idea/hint is much appreciated. TIA,
Bahman

Enabling Oracle Management Service to Access My Oracle Support
Unless online access to the Internet is strictly forbidden in your environment, Oracle Management Service should be enabled to access My Oracle Support. This access is necessary to enable updates and patches to be downloaded, for example.
At minimum, the following URLs should be made available through the firewall:
aru-akam.oracle.com
ccr.oracle.com
login.oracle.com
support.oracle.com
updates.oracle.com
About the dontProxyfor Property
When you configure the Oracle Management Service or a Management Agent to use a proxy server, it is important to understand the purpose of the dontProxyFor property, which identifies specific URL domains for which the proxy will not be used.
For example, suppose the following were true:
You have installed the Oracle Management Service and several Management Agents on hosts that are inside the company firewall. These hosts are in the internal .example.com and .example.us.com domains.
You have installed several additional Management Agents on hosts that are outside the firewall. These hosts are installed in the .example.uk domain.
You have configured Enterprise Manager to automatically check for critical software patches on My Oracle Support.
In this scenario, you want the Oracle Management Service to connect directly to the Management Agents inside the firewall without using the proxy server. On the other hand, you want the Oracle Management Service to use the proxy server to contact the Management Agents outside the firewall, as well as the My Oracle Support site, which resides at the following URL:
http://support.oracle.com
The following properties will prevent the Oracle Management Service from using the proxy server for connections to the Management Agents inside the firewall. Connections to My Oracle Support and to Management Agents outside the firewall will be routed through the proxy server:
proxyHost=proxy42.example.com
proxyHost=80
dontProxyFor=.example.com, .example.us.com
PS: Cygwin has nothing to do with My Oracle Support connection. Cygwin is ONLY required for agent deployment using agent push from OMS.

Content engine 510 - transparent proxy stand-alone

Hello to all,
after studying architecture examples about Content Engine 510, I found that there is two modes:
1) standard proxy
2) transparent proxy
I need the transparent architecture !
But every example about transparent mode seems to include a router or a switch with a particular level of software, that can send http requests to the Content Engine to have cache.
I don't have any of these components.
I simply need to have a Content Engine that receive any kind of IP protocols on one ethernet, and route it to the other ethernet plug, except that if it is http protocol, it will cache the pages.
Is is simply impossible to configure the Content Engine 510 that way ?
Is the transparent proxy mode always requires a router or a switch to give it the http flow ?
If it is possible, where can I find some configuration examples ?
Thanks to help a newbie in content engine...
Olivier

Olivier,
You'll need to have a router running wccp in order to redirect http requests to the cache. Withouth this, the cache has no visibilty of traffic on your LAN.
Regards,
Dave
