N9 automatic proxy configuration not working

Hi all
While configuring a network connection (wifi or 3G), N9 allows to put a proxy in "automatic mode". I guess this is for use with a PAC file, maybe with WPAD mechanism also.
I tried several ways to use it, through wifi mainly:
- putting "auto mode" without filling up the "address" field : no luck
- filled up the address field with the PAC file http address : no luck
i captured trafic on the DNS servers and next hope router and it is clear that the N9 never make use of any of the parameters. no dns request on wpad.mydomain, no tcp connection to pac server
more info on WPAD : Wikipedia on WPAD
my n9 is still PR1.0
anyone with some clue ?
thx

Hi
Same problem in PR1.1
I'm very disappointed because this feature seems to work but actually doesn't. It would be really helpful in corporate usage. Even IOS does the job.
Does someone at Nokia have hints about this ?
Thx

MII proxy configuration not working

Hello, there!
We have an application that runs as an HTTP proxy. It should intercept messages sent from MII to another system (running on the same machine) via Web Services.
I have configured MII ProxyHost and ProxyPort for MII, but it seems to be ignoring it. Even when I enter an invalid proxy configuration, MII manages to send the messages correctly, when it should raise a Connection Refused type of error.
I have already tried to restart MII application.
Does anybody have an idea on what could be happening?
Thanks in advance!

Automatic Proxy Configuration URL doesn't work on some computers, but Manual proxy can work

It seems that the Automatic Proxy Configuration URL doesn't work, I use the command netstat -a, can't see the connection to proxy server, but manual proxy is ok, and I tested on some others computers, most of these computers can work normally with Automatic Proxy Configuration URL.
For the computer can't work normally with Automatic Proxy Configuration URL, I did below actions
1.Clear the cache
2.update the version of firefox
3.reinstall the firefox
4.use the safemode to run firefox
but unfortunately, still doesn't work.
Can some dear friends give me a big favor for this? Thanks a million in advance!

I have the same problem, just showed up recently - very fricking annoying!!

Bypass automatic proxy configuration for some websites?

Here's my problem, perhaps someone can help:
I occassionally need to use my university's proxy server to access library materials, etc., through my off-campus connection. So I entered the .pac file (a url) in the Automatic Proxy Configuration box of System Preferences > Network. All well and good.
The problem is, when I want to get more weather details from the weather widget for example, visiting a site like Accuweather.com throws up the login page for my proxy server. Having to enter my university id and password whenever I want to check the weather is guaranteed to drive me bananas.
So is there any way to keep sites like Accuweather.com from demanding I log into my proxy server when there's no reason to, while still keeping my auto proxy configuration in place for when I really need to use it? Anything I can do in Safari about this?
The other option seems to be to reserve one browser, configured with my university proxy, just for doing library research, etc., and another as a general surfing browser. I'd be happy to make Safari do general duty, and configure Camino to use the proxy server, but I can't seem to make this division work, since both use whatever's listed in Network Prefs. I can't tell one to use the proxy and the other not to, they're both controlled by this global pref.
I think I might be able to specify the proxy locally in Firefox, and leave Safari w/o the proxy...But I much prefer the look and feel of Camino...
Any ideas on how to get around this with Safari, or a combo of Safari and Camino?
Thanks in advance for any tips.
iBook G4 800Mhz 12" Mac OS X (10.4.4) Safari 2.0.3, Camino 1.0

Okay, I found the "Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains" box right under my nose, in Network Prefs. It's explained in this kbase document,
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301534
Getting closer...
However, using the accuweather.com example, I tried entering the domain name and it still calls up the login in Safari. I even tried looking up the site's IP address and entering that in different forms:
wwwa.accuweather.com
207.242.93.24
207.242.93.*
Still no luck, it calls up the proxy server...

Automatic Proxy Configuration keeps getting disabled for Manual Proxy Configuration

When ever I launch Firefox 3.6.13, the connection settings get reset to Manual Proxy Configuration. I switch the connection settings to automatic proxy configuration and all works fine. Upon closing and re-launching Firefox the Connection Setting is set back to manual proxy configuration.

Alert configuration Not working in RWB

Hi,
In RWB alertconfiguration is not working, showing the error
<b>404 Not Found</b>". I gone through this thread
Alert configuration or Alert Inbox-----404 Not Found
And my host name is full host name.
In exchange profiles my port is 50100 (J2EE PORT) (Not Changed)
1. In SMICM when I changed to port to 50100 (J2EE) then alert configuration
working, But My scenarios not working throwing error : System Error.
<b>Error Category XI_J2EE_MESSAGING_SYSTEM
Error Code HTTP_TRANSMISSION_ERROR</b>
2. In SMICM when I changed to port to 8001 (ABAP Port) then Alert configuration not working (Error : 404 Not Found), but my scenarios were working fine.
what would be the reason?
thx in advance,
Ansar.

HI,
If Error: 404 Not Found
Description: The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address. This status code is commonly used when the server does not wish to reveal exactly why the request has been refused, or when no other response is applicable.
Possible Tips:- for HTTP_RESP_STATUS_CODE_NOT_OK 404
404 is an HTTP response code that indicates that the resource in question couldn't be found. Usually this is due to an incorrect URL, so it is better to cross check all URLs.
Check pipeline URL in the SLD in the business system of the Integration Server For this go to SLD->Business System-><yourIntegrtaion Server>->Pipeline URL: It should be like this http://<host>:<port>/sap/xi/engine?type=entry Where host is the host name of the Integration Server and port is the HTTP(8xxx) port. To verify this in Integration Server you can do like this. Go to SXMB_ADM->Integration Engine Configuration->Choose Edit from Menu -> Change Global Configuration Data to switch to change mode. Then select System Landscape - Load Configuration. (This is not required always)
Check that the port really is the ICM HTTP Port and not the J2EE port i.e SMICM then menu GOTO --> SERVICES and check the port number for HTTP. It should be HTTP port
If the error is Page cannot be displayed, cannot find server in https configurations Check and correct the SSL configuration for the ABAP and the J2EE side of the system
If the error is because of integration server when using Proxy communications then check these. i.e SXMB_ADM->Integration Engine Configuration->Corresponding Integration Server enrty should be dest://<Http Integration server-Destination> Where < Http Integration server -Destination > is the RFC destination (SM59) of type HTTP connection (type H) to the Integration Server. In this case, host name, port, and path prefix are saved in the RFC destination

Automatic Proxy Configuration - FindProxyForURL

The plug-in documentation states, "There are a number of JavaScript helper functions which can be called from the JavaScript function FindProxyForURL. Java Plug-in provides its own implementation of these functions to completely emulate the automatic proxy configuration."
Does the Java Plug-in implement the dnsDomainIs helper function? I ask because the proxy.pac that I use has something like this:
if (
dnsDomainIs(host,"intranet.domain.com")
return "DIRECT";
When the Java Plug-in tries to connect to a particular host that is in our intranet (ex. host1.intranet.domain.com) I get a proxy server login prompt. However, if I use:
if ( shExpMatch(host, "*.asco.ashland.com") )
return "DIRECT";
I do NOT get a proxy server login.
Any thoughts?

Server proxy is not working

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario from jdbc to SAP.I have made serverproxy.The proxy was not working.I have test the proxy backend it is working fine,but i am staring jdbc channel the data was not insert in to the database table in sap.I have checked in sxmb_moni in sap r/3 system is showing scuessfully,but data was not sent to proxy.I have put one break point in the code for debugging the proxy.But data was not comming to breakpoint.Kindly help me.
Thanks
Ravi

Hi,
Make sure that you have not done any changes in your XI structure recently otherwise regenerate the proxy and then try agin.
Secondly if you have not done any changes then it's ok. Just one thing, have you used Commit Work just after modifying/inseting the value into database table. If not use this and then try again.
It seems that smoethig went wrong at R3 side because you said data is successful in R3 MONI, so data is reaching to R3 but not going into proxy.
When you kept the break point then were you able to see the debugger screen in R3?

Sarvesh

What would be the command to uncheck Automatic Proxy Configuration?

Looking for a script to uncheck the Automatic Proxy Configuration field so I don't have to touch every mac individually.
I tried networksetup -setsocksfirewallproxystate Ethernet off which ran successfully but doesn't appear to have done anything.

Figured it out networksetup -setautoproxystate Ethernet off

Automatic update does not work

On my both computers (Windows 7, Window 8), the automatic update does not work at all, although it is activated in the options. All I get in the Firefox info box is that an update is available, with a link that I have to follow to download the installation file and install it manually. No difference even if I wait for weeks, the update is neither downloaded nor installed automatically. The problem persists in all Firefox versions since version 3.6.16 / 2011 (the last update in the chronicle). Note that the automatic update seems to perform well in the Windows XP mode of my Windows 7 system !

It will update eventually; there may have been availability problems on the update servers.

Does Safari support Automatic Proxy Configuration with a .wpad file?

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knows whether Safari supports Automatic Proxy Configuration with a .wpad file?
Morgan

HI Morgan ..
Safari is extremely finicky about proxies and according to Wikipedia it dates back to older browser versions.

After ram upgrade automatic sleep is not working anymore

Some days ago I installed a second 1GB ram module in my 20" Intel iMac. After this I noticed that the automatic sleep do not work anymore. The display turns off but the iMac not. The iMac makes sounds like he wants to do to sleep but could not.
I tried everything I could find... delete OS X powermanagement prefs, run Onyx, reset the SMC.
Do anyone have an solution for this?
Thanks

Does your iMac recognize the new memory module?
Yes.
You might try reseating the module in its slot, and it
would not be a bad idea to run Hardware Test from
your install/restore DVD, just to be sure there is
not an underlying hardware problem.
Already done - no problems reported
Is your new memory module of the same specifications as the
stock module?
Yes it is the same, I had a look on this before I bought it because I wanted to use the dual-channel mode.
Also, what are your settings for sleeping your iMac?
5 min to sleep display, 10 min to sleep the mac
One other thing you may wish to
try is updating your system of OS X 10.4.6 (your
profile indicates that your a running 10.4.5).
Was updated to 10.4.6. I just forget to change the forums pref
I more thing to mention when I start the sleep mode manually everything is fine. I also tried to disconnect all external USB/Firewire hardware and tried it with a fresh mac os install on my USB HDD.
Nothing helped.
Thanks

IE 9.0 proxy failover not working correctly - Is there a bug fix or IE setting to correct this behavior

I am testing proxy pac file failover using IE 9.0.8112 and testing three choices using an automatic configuration file. I shut down the first proxy to test the fail over to the second. Firefox 20.0.1 and chrome work correctly, but IE 9.0 does
not. My snip-it is as follows:
return "PROXY 192.168.11.12:8080; PROXY 192.168.11.195:8080; DIRECT";
With ie8, firefox and chrome the fail over to the next proxy entry during a PROXY 192.168.11.12 fail over works correct and as follows:
Proxy 192.168.11.12 times out after about 25-30 seconds and then proxy 192.168.11.195 is attempted and the web page is displayed.
Then all url lookups after this time are made through proxy 192.168.11.195 and are quick. This is how proxy fail over should work.
When I test with ie9 it works as follows:
Proxy 192.168.11.12 times out after about 25-30 seconds and then proxy 192.168.11.195 is attempted and the web page is displayed.
Then all following url lookups take 30 -45 seconds because it always tries the first PROXY 192.168.11.12 first before attempting proxy 192.168.11.195
because it does not remember first Proxy 192.168.11.12 is not available.
Is there a setting or bug opened on this behavior????

Not to be pedantic, but the proxy.pac file is JavaScript... :)
You might be experiencing an issue with IE's automatic proxy caching, described here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/271361 . Basically, the choice of which proxy to use is decided once per requested host, and the decision is cached. So, if you
are testing failover by accessing resources on the same host before and after shutting off the first proxy, IE will still insist on using that proxy address for subsequent requests. If you test a second host and get a more timely response, then I would say
this is what you are seeing.
You can experimentally disable this feature by setting...
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"EnableAutoProxyResultCache"=dword:00000000"
...in the registry for your test user. I imagine a reboot will be required.
