Flash Upload from behind a proxy

Hi,
I am working behind a proxy and some of the flash uploaders
out there require me to authenticate myself on the local proxy
before allowing me to upload files. I have such an uploader which
currently is outside my network. However after it tryes to execute
file.upload(request); it dies silently without a trace of what is
going on. I presume that it fails because it hasn't requested the
proxy auth. How can I show the proxy auth login pop-up. Here's a
sample of my code
Thank you for your help,
Cosmin

Allow the box to bypass the proxy server, at least temporarily and for purposes of testing this.
This bypass test will allow you to determine if this is the proxy connection, or something within the box or the SUS configuration.
Or permanently, following the "if it hurts, don't do it" model.

Creative Cloud cannot connect from behind a proxy.

One of the most stupid things that Adobe has done is this stupid Creative Cloud solution. We have multiple users who are unable to access the Creative Cloud because the "brains" (and I use that term loosely) at Adobe decided to change their application without any warning.
When using the Adobe Application Manager, the software would not connect to the Adobe servers when using a proxy, but that was fine because at least authentication was working. Now even that is failing since the update from Adobe Application Manager to Creative Cloud Desktop App. After much testing, and countless trials in trying to find a full application which does need to be constantly updated everytime it does connect to the internet, I was able to work out that if a proxy pac file is being used, then the application does not connect and fails because it cannot find the internet. When a proxy server and port is used, then it connects, but this is not a suitable solution.
Is there anyone who has been able to use the software with proxy pac files enabled?
Btw, here are some interesting reponses from the Adobe tech support who was neither supporting nor tech savvy:
"Do you have a connection to the internet?" - After remoting on to my machine ...FROM THE INTERNET
"You need to start the machine in safe mode." ME:"Why?" Support: "Because this free up resources, for the application to run"
"It looks like the Internet connection is not working" - After repeatedly clicking Retry
"I'll contact the 2nd tier support and we will be able to help you, because our main concern is that you can get a connection" Me:"How long will that take?" Support: "A couple of hrs" - 4 hrs later and still no word from tech support and I have already worked out the issue.
So for any Adobe people, who actually want to help, I'm still waiting on my callback.
All others, let me know if anyone has been able to get this working with proxy pac files.

For any one trying to get this stupid thing working, I was able to find a solution for our environment.
Namely adding both a proxy pac file for the users and then enabling the Proxy server settings for the application. This allowed the Adobe Creative Cloud application to connect to the internet and update. This also meant that we didn't need to add the sites into our filter list as they were already enabled for the users.
Hope this helps others trying to get this working

I am using Tomcat 5.0.19 . Could anyone suggest a possible solution to the same?
The system works fine when I use a http endpoint.

Hi,
By default, your application tries to connect to the Net directly : if you have to specify a proxy, use either these lines in your code :
System.setProperty("http.proxySet", "true");
System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "proxy");
System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", "8080");
Or specify them in the command line with the "-D"option.
Ex : java .... -Dhttp.proxySet=true .... MyApp
Hope it helps.
See ya

Problems downloading with the Adobe Download Assistant behind a proxy

I'm attemtping to use Adobe Download Assistant from behind a proxy (specifically, one created by an IronPort data appliance). Is there a way to set proxy information within Adobe Download Manager? It doesn't seem to be pulling my system's settings, so attempting to download a product results in 101 errors no matter the destination.

Branched this out to a separate discussion.
The Adobe Download Assistant will use the proxy configuration for your computer. If it is being blocked then please ensure that your proxy is configured to allow the Adobe Download Assistant to connect to the Internet.

Using Flash's xml.sendAndLoad behind a proxy

We have a product that uses Directory and Flash to collect
data and then we send that data to a web server via a soap call. We
had been using an external perl script to do the soap call for many
years and are wanting to move the code in to Flash or Directory so
we can give the user better feed back about what is happening with
the soap call.
I created som flash scripts that use the XML object and the
sendAndLoad function to do the calls. The problem I am finding is
that if the client is behind a proxy the call fails. Is there a way
to fix this and correctly authenticate with the proxy server so
that the soap call goes through?

I don't know how you'd do this using a Flash object, but
Director's
built-in NetLingo xtra can handle SOAP requests as of version
10.1 and
this, in conjunction with the proxyServer() command, should
be all you
need - assuming you have access to proxy details.

Configure FMS behind a proxy

Hello,
I've a problem to configure FMS Streaming 4.5 on an Ubuntu 10.04 Server.
I've got a website and a FMS on the same server who is behind a proxy (not on the same server)
Server IP : 192.168.0.2
Proxy IP : 192.168.0.254
FMS is configure to listen to port 1935 in fms.ini
# This section contains configurable parameters in Adaptor.xml #
# IP address and port(s) Flash Media Server should listen on
# For example:
# ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT = :1935,80
ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT = :1935
Apache listens on port 80
Apache wasn't installed with FMS, it's pre-installed
This is my Virtual conf
NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.2:80
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.2:80>
ServerName mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
</VirtualHost>
Ports 80 1111 and 1935 are opened on my server
# RTMP Streaming
iptables -t filter -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 1935 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t filter -A INPUT -p udp --dport 1935 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t filter -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 1111 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t filter -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 1935 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t filter -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 1935 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t filter -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 1111 -j ACCEPT
On the proxy server (use Apache), ports 80, 11, 1935 are opened in the firewall (output, input and forward) and the proxy makes a NAT translation to my website.
But I can't see the videos on my website
If i test on a machine behind the proxy, the streaming is OK, i see my videos.
I don't know how to solve this problem. I've got only one IP on my server.
What is the best solution,
Thanks for your help

Here is the flash tutorial:http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408205.html
Without a proxy, it connect locally using the 1935 port.
I'm also able to connect from the external network to my local network using the same port. The firewall is configured to accept incoming rtmp connection
But as soon i use a proxy, the connection fail.

Mac Adobe Flash Player not supporting Web Proxy Authentication

Anyone else got an enterprise network where you use web proxies with web authentication and no traffic allowed out except through the proxies?
You may need to be in the UK for this, but try accessing BBC iPlayer content - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer and you should discover that the content won't play. the error says "This content doesn't seem to be working. Try again later.". The content will never work as the Mac version of Flash (currently 10.1.53.64) is not able to respond to web proxy authentication requests. The BBC use various streaming server which are randomly selected when a user starts a stream and they have no DNS. Just IP addresses. They don't publish a list for security reasons. So it is almost impossible to exempt all their servers from authentication.
I've logged a bug with Adobe. If you have this issue too, please add a comment and vote so that they can begin to grasp the impact of this problem:
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-5161

I have the same issues in Australia trying to access flash content from the ABC website. The strange thing is the content will play if your leave the browser open for 5min.
After several packet data captures we identified that it has to do with the amount of time it takes the Mac timeout from the proxy before it plays the video content.
No solution yet.

I can can upload photos to my facebook page and the same problem with our fat cow web site. We can upload from both chrome and safari with no problem. Upgraded from 8.03 to 9.0 and same problem???

we can not upload from the desktop to post on either facebook or to our fat cow web site. We have had fat cow upload from their end and have no problem

Follow the instructions to uninstall then reinstall the Flash plugin then restart the Mac(s).

Developing an iOS app on Windows and get error 90161 on upload from Mac

Hello,
I have developed an AIR for iOS app in Flash CC 2014 on Windows. I use MacinCloud managed server for uploading .ipa to store for testing. It is virtual server service with Mac OS. They have Application Loader pre-installed.
I made certificates [cer converted to p12] on Windows and installed provisional profile. I made another certificate on Mac and added it to provisional profile too.
I get error when trying to upload from Application Loader:
ERROR ITMS-90161: "Invalid Provisioning Profile. The provisioning profile included in the bundle com.xxx.yyy [Payload/yyy.app] is invalid. [Missing code-signing certificate.] For more information, visit the iOS Developer Portal."
Stuck here. Tried to add cert made on Mac. Flash doesn't like it and stops compilation.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Unfortunately I have no experience with Apple Testflight, but I can show you how to host on your own server.
Create a .plist file on your server with the following data in it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>items</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>assets</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>kind</key>
<string>software-package</string>
<key>url</key>
<string>http://yourserver.com/path/to/ipa</string>
</dict>
</array>
<key>metadata</key>
<dict>
<key>bundle-identifier</key>
<string>com.yourcompany.yourgame</string>
<key>bundle-version</key>
<string>current version of your app</string>
<key>kind</key>
<string>software</string>
<key>title</key>
<string>name of your app</string>
</dict>
</dict>
</array>
</dict>
</plist>
Then, on your server, make an HTML page with the following code in it:
<a href="itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=http://yourserver.com/path/to/plist">click here to install<a>
Navigate to that page on your device, click the link, and it should work! (assuming the adhoc provisioning profile you built your app with contains permissions for your device)

Lync Client Behind A Proxy

Can anyone confirm if the Lync client can be configured to route traffic via a proxy, or to use the proxy settings defined in IE?
I have the following scenario...
The environment is heavily locked down, and PC's only have access to the Internet via a defined IE proxy. Internal IM, presence and communication all work fine. We have configured federation with some remote organizations. IM and presence
works fine to these orgs, but when any A/V or application sharing is attempted, the media fails. I can see from traces this is when the client tries (and fails) to access the A/V edge of the remote federated parties edge server.
I've looked at the Lync settings, reg settings, group policy ADM and documentation, and cant find anything to a) confirm if this behavior is correct or b) any way to work around it.
There must be other Lync implementations in hardened environments like this. Opening up outbound ports is out of the question, so what other options do i have?
Dave

Jay, you missed the key word in my last post "internally". Functionally, everything about the edge server is working fine. Clients can login internally and externally. Media flows from internal to external clients is fine. All SIP/AV/WEBCON
DNS entries are fine in public DNS along with supporting SRV records. These interfaces are Nat'd and the AV address is correctly assigned.
My problem only occurs when an AV session is attempted with a federated partner...
When any AV or sharing is attempted, from the internal network, to the federated partner, i can see the Lync client attempting to make connections out to the remote federated partners AV edge (something which it will never be able to do as it's behind a
proxy with no direct Internet access). This is what I'm trying to address.
Should the SIP/AV/WEBCON address exist INTERNALLY
on the corporate DNS servers for internal clients to resolve? Is this what i have missed?
Is there anyway to instruct the Lync client to route traffic bound for the Internet via a proxy?
Surely there must be someone else with this scenario in a locked down environment?

Debug behind a proxy

It's possible to get debug information behind a proxy?
The client IP adress is not seen from Coldfusion because all request are from proxy.. but if i enable the proxy IP for debugging, i
will share the debug information with all users.. there is a way to solve this?
i already tried with the mode=debug option (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/176/tn_17642.html) in the URL but it simply doesn't work.. i disabled "Enable Debugging " from the admin console and removed any IP from "Debugging IP Addresses" except for 127.0.0.1, and restarted Coldfusion, but also if i append "?mode=debug" to
any URL, it doesn't display any debug information.
is the mode=debug option available to Coldfusion 7.0.2 ?
Thanks in advance

Contact your ISP for instructions on how to obtain a direct connection.

Problems with Arrowpoint cookies for clients behind a Proxy

I have in a WebSite clients being load balanced using Arrowpoint cookies to a virtual Server. The CSS load balance between three Apache real servers.
I have some clients that are behind some kind of Proxy Cache and I have seen with a sniffer that the proxies causing the problem Re-use proxy to our server connections for different requests for multiple clients.
Then, as I understand the CSS make the forwarding decission based on the cookie of the first request for the first client behind the proxy after establishing the HTTP connection, but when there is a request from other client using this same connection (that must be forwarded to other real server) the request is forwarded to the original web server and fails because we need sticky connections.
I thought that this wasn't correct but I have read some documents that say that this is called a Proxy role as a "connection cache". Then my question is if there is any workaround for this problem.
Thanks

I believe your problem is that the proxy open a few persistent connections with the CSS and loadbalance your client's request over them.
Once the CSS has associated a connection with a service, it does not look into the request anymore.
The solution is to disable persistence on the CSS with the command 'no persistent' and 'persistence reset'.

Using Webstart behind a proxy firewall

Hi,
According to http://www.vamphq.com/jwsfaq.html#proxylogin if one uses Webstart behind a proxy firewall and one enters the wrong password, Webstart will not reprompt. Has this changed in Tiger or does this problem still occur? Does Webstart automatically import proxy settings from the browser in Webstart? To my understanding plain-application does not auto-import.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Gili

If you have a Domina Name registered.Install IAS or OAS as your web server. Use NAT on your firewall to point to the illegal IP address. Make sure that there is a Domain Name Server somehwere on the Internet pointing to your Legal IP address for your domain name. If you don't have a domain name, you will still do everything the IAS/OAS setups, but you will have to type your Legal IP address into the browser to connect.

Running application behind the proxy

Hi,
I have developed one test SAPUI5 application and using Northwind OData service.
Application is working fine but when I try to run in my office network which is behind the proxy, application is giving "407,Proxy Authentication Required". Following is the web console log.
Yes this is the obvious behavior as I have to give my user name and password for accessing internet from my office network.
My question is how should I specify proxy user name and password in SAPUI5 application while accessing OData so that I can run it behind the proxy also.

Have you configured the proxy settings in Eclipse? I believe the SimpleProxyServlet uses the Eclipse Authenticator, and you can configure the proxy username and password in Eclipse.
SAPUI5 SDK - Demo Kit
Internet Servers
TheSimpleProxyServletcan be configured for proxy requests to internet servers in the same way as for intranet servers. Additional proxy settings may be necessary.
As theSimpleProxyServletautomatically uses the proxy settings from your Eclipse this can be configured in Eclipse under Window Preferences , and select General Network Connections . Here you can specify the proxy entries and the proxy bypass.
For example, set Active Provider to Manual, Schema=HTTP, Host=proxy, Port=8080 under proxy entries and localhost, *.sap.corp as Host under proxy bypass.

Jason
