Unable to connect to proxy due to automatic https

Hi there,
I am the network administrator for an Australian K-12 school. We are cross platform, and support both Mac & Windows environments, based of an Active Directory Infrastructure.
We have local proxy server based on ISA 2006, using McAfee SmartFilter as the local filtering solution.
The issue I am having has been occuring since Firefox 12 was released. A number of websites retrieved through firefox started using the HTTPS connection by default, for example google.com, youtube.com, twitter.com, or carrying out a search using the search bar.
For example - If i search cat in the search bar, Firefox will automatically refer the search through this url - https://www.google.com.au/search?q=cat&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a&channel=fflb.
With the majority of our Mac computers running Firefox 14 or later, this search is hampered and returns the message Proxy is refusing connection. To overcome this, I have trained staff and students to remove the 's' from http:// and to reattempt the connection. If it isn't a blocked term, ie porn, the proxy will ask for login details, and connect through.
In the case of a blocked website, such as YouTube, the same fix is applied to bring up the block page, which can allow the override. Further more, once the filtering is turn off. The issue doesn't rear again, until the filter cuts back in.
This also occurs, but less often with our Windows based computers running Firefox, as they support NTLM authentication straight through.
What makes it most curious, is that Safari versions 5 & 6, the current and many releases of Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer 7, 8 & 9 work flawlessly.
I'm looking for an option or a fix that will allow us to set a preference the HTTP over HTTPS for these website so that Firefox can at least work straight out, prior to the release of this feature, or adjust so that if the connection is refused/unable to connect by the proxy at, it will try by HTTP before failing to connect.
If there is anything else I can try, please let me know.

I can't speak for YouTube or Twitter, but for your search engines, you can edit some of those settings.
(1) Address bar search
You can edit the keyword.URL setting to use an http:// URL. This article describes how to access that setting, and the following thread has an alternate URL you can use for the searches:
* [[Search the web from the Address Bar]]
* [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/932804 How do I turn off the safe search feature new in Firefox 14?]
(2) Search box
You can add a new search engine plugin that uses http instead of https. You can choose one from the Mycroft site, or I have posted one that I created last July by deleting the "s" from the URLs in the standard search plugin.
* Mycroft: http://mycroftproject.com/google-search-plugins.html
* My site: http://dev.jeffersonscher.com/search/getplug.html
Does that work?

Messages "unable to connect to proxy. Try again"

hi,
I am no longer able to send or receive any files via messages on my desktop - im running OS X 10.8.4.
I haven't change any setting recently, its just started saying "unable to connect to proxy. Try again"
If i go to preferences in messages and server settings the server is api.oscar.aol.com and the port is 443 with Use SSL checked, connect using proxy is unchecked.
any suggestions?

Hi,
iChat and Messages are rubbish with Proxies. (but see 5th paragraph)
Older version of iChat had proxy settings you could make in the app itself (As in on the AIM account's pane)
It always did slightly better when set to use the "System Settings" if a proxy was in use.
In Messages this have been reduced.
See Messages > Preferences> Accounts > Aim account > Server Settings tab.
It is now a Tick Box and a "Use System Settings" box. There is nowhere to actually stick info.
IS the computer using a Proxy to access the Internet ?
Is it set up correctly in System Preferences > Network > (Advanced Button) > Proxies tab ?
As I have never run a Proxy my knowledge is limited after the point.
My Post reading habits/Methods.
Read Email alerts and visit new posts in threads I am already involved in.
After that go to Using Mountain Lion and filter "Messages" and read oldest Unread first.
Quick scan of page one from things that might be about Messages that were not marked for the filter.
Repeat for iChat Community.
Repeat if time for Lion Comunity > iChat and iChat Sharing filter.
Most days I do get all new posts.
(yesterday I didn't though).
Bumped posts can therefore get "Missed" for longer as they go up the Unread list.

Unable to connect to proxy-Webservices

Hi Experts,
I have a URL of a webservice and I am trying to test it in WS navigator but while testing I am getting error
"Cannot connect to http://10.66.231.217:8080/<some path>?wsdl: Unable to connect to proxy:8080 - proxy "
Please help me understandig the reason for error.
Regards
Pranav

Anup I am getting an error "Unable to import the model." when i click next after selecting wsdl URL. Any solutiion. I tried creating deployable proxy for this web service as well but while importing the WSDL it gives below stated error
src-resolve.4.2: Error resolving component 'ns1:Cluster'. It was detected that 'ns1:Cluster' is in namespace 'http://<Path> /xsd', but components from this namespace are not referenceable from schema document 'file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/pranav_nagpal /workspace2.jdi/LocalDevelopment/DCs/demo.sap.com/testweb/_comp/test/AnalyticsService.WSDL'. If this is the incorrect namespace, perhaps the prefix of 'ns1:Cluster' needs to be changed. If this is the correct namespace, then an appropriate 'import' tag should be added to 'file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/ pranav_nagpal/workspace2.jdi/LocalDevelopment/DCs/demo.sap.com/testweb/_comp/test/AnalyticsService.WSDL'.

Any suggestion...

hi
This problem comes due to the post installation steps might be at the time of post installation some wrong might be done.
step1 : In sxmb_adm configure the integration server by giving the path as http://<host>:<abapport>/sap/xi/engine?type=entry
step 2 : Check ur business system created at the time of post installation there u need to main the path as it as above.

Unable to connect to proxy server in internet explorer 11

Hi could you help me please im unable to connect to internet in internet explorer 11 ,windows 7..I cannot contact my internet security Norton nor microsoft help it says proxy server unable to connect,contact your administrator.I have been through many
things and nothing has worked.Im unable to to change anything in the lan settings as when i uncheck things it checks them again.As you can prob tell im a bit of a novice to say the least ,please help.Yours AH

Hello bongolfc22,
If my understanding is right, you can’t use the Internet Explorer 11 to open website, and when you uncheck the option in the LAN settings, it will check it back.
Please answer the following question for better analyzation:
1. Is the computer domain-based?
2. Have you made any changes before this issue?
If this computer is domain-based, Please check if other computers have the same issue.
If so , we need to contact the administrator of the domain.
Additionally, we could try to reset Internet Explorer and check if the issue still exists.

Unable to connect to proxy server error when I don't use a proxy?

Hi everyone, I had an error connecting to the internet and it turned out that my proxy settings had been changed on System Preferences to connect to a proxy. I noticed that I could access certain websites like Google, Facebook and Twitter but the rest of the web was a no go. Thing is, I'm the only person that uses this computer. Anyway, I changed my settings to stop connecting to that proxy and it made me think: how did my settings get changed in the first place? For one thing I have definitely set it so that you need to put in my Admin password in order to change such settings. Could this be some form of spyware/online tracking attempt on my computer? Do you guys have any suggestions on what I can do to prevent this in the future or what I can do to make sure my computer is completely secure (if it isn't already)?

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) on the advice of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

"Unable to connect to proxy. Try again."

when sending a file to another person who is using AIM. Proxy? what proxy? I have no problem when doing iChat - iChat file transfer. What's up? who's not playing nice?

Hi Kelly,
Based on that info it looks like your Buddy.
iChat and AIM log on the AIM server on port 5190 using the TCP protocol.
In Direct chats (where you send pics and files in the text chat) or just plain File sending happens or moves to port 5190 on the UDP protocol.
It sounds like he has a proxy for his logging on but for the other.

Iphone 4 deactivated. Unable to connect to iTunes due to passcode (known)

Hi,
I met this issue and don't know what to do next:
I put my iphone 4 into deactivated mode without removing the passcode first.
When I connect to itune, itune complains about the passcode. However, on the iphone 4, only emergy call mode is available. There is nowhere I can input the passcode.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

What EXACTLY did you do? There is no "deactivated mode". It's not something you can select from a menu on the phone. Do you mean you input the incorrect passcode too many times?
If so, you will need to restore it using the computer you normally sync with. If the passcode was set AFTER you backed it up the last time, you will need to put it in DFU mode and restore it as a new device.

Windows 7 laptops unable to connect to WiFi automatically

Hello All,
We are facing a wierd issue where the Windows 7 laptops are unable to connect to the corporate Wifi automatically.
We have pushed the profiles using Group Policy and there are about 15 profiles present on each laptop. The SSIDs are not broadcasted and PEAP is the authentciation method. While the Windows XP and some of the older Win 7 laptops connect fine the newer Dell 6410/20s doesnt. Upgrading the wireless card drivers hasnt made a difference.
I am posting this to know if anyone else on this forum has faced this issue and found a fix? Please suggest what could be the problem. Thank you in advance.
Best Regards

Hello Scott,
I am unable to set the policy to 2.4 only since there are a lot of APs sharing the controller and dont want to bump off all the clients that are able to client.
Today tried upgrading a cleints wireless NIC drivers and that didnt make much difference. And I am not seeing any debug output on the WLC for this client.
I think either some laptops are not probing actively or the WLC is ignoring the probe requests.
Could someone please guide how can i check if the laptops are sending probe requests for a particular SSID ??
I know it can be done using a wireless sniffer, but unfortunately i am not based onsite nor there is anyone onsite who can help.
Thanks,
Jeen

How to resolve on my iPad: Unable to connect to server error when trying to log into Game Center?

When I try to log into the game center, i get an error message that says: unable to connect to server due to an error communicating with the server.
I have logged off iTune and any other app I was logged in, I have done a hard reset of my iPad, I have reset my modem, but nothing had any impact and I am now frozen out of my game center.
Anybody has an idea of how to resolve this?
Thanks,
J

1) May be there is a mismatch with the jar file name and the filename in the jad properties ( happens only if you rename the jar file)
2) Check hollywood jad properties and the ringtone jad properties. May be the complete url is required for the jar file.
3) If you are using any restricted APIs in your midlet, then make sure your jad properties has the required permissions.

[Win7 Spotify v1] no connection behind proxy

I can login to my premium account and that's it. No music playback. Actually nothing displays on the left to playlist. You need to wait a few minutes for preferences to displays after pressing Ctrl-P
I have tried completly uninstall and clear windows registries with Revo Unistaller tool and install application back.
After observing that the option file (d:\userdata\xxxx\Application Data\Spotify\prefs) keep groving infinitely with exact copies of line entries I give up and reverted to 0.9 version and blocked auto update with help of an excelent how-to found on the forum.
BTW: Discountinuation of apps support is a *huge* downgrade for me.
Personally I don't care about friends activity, but I frequently use:
Last.fm
h1tchr
BBC Playlister
and suprise suprise musicXmatch
As for classical music records search is still a miss and hit process I rely on labels apps like:
harmonia mundi
DECCA
The Legacy Of
My understanding is that equalify doesn't support version 1.0 of Spotify.
> Equalify does not support the Spotify 1.0.x BETA client at this time.
(http://www.equalify.me/?page=download)

Same problem, unable to connect via proxy and preference screen doesn't pop up at all.
Agree with you on the friends activity feed, don't mind it but it isn't important.
I am a bit worried about the "Messages" Icon since I don't want spotify to be anything other than a tool to play music.
I definetly don't want spotify to become a swiss army knife kind of app.

Unable to connect to wifi 8520

Hi,
I bought a 8520 in the first week of Jan 2010 and trying to connect to wifi available on the college campus. The secured wifi is giving some problems which even the IT dept of our college is unable to solve.
We use PEAP security setting for the network and even after punching all the required settings I am unable to connect and its giving authorization error.
My default browser is also set to Hotspot.
The other issue which I am facing is that my BB restarts automatically in its own. This is very weird as there is sufficient battery and even then it gets switched off and starts on its own.
Please help!!!

HT204409 unable to connect my ipad to my wireless internet - all other devices including another ipad, ipods, laptops etc.. connect fine?

Can't seem to connect one of my ipads to our wireless network at home - every other device in the house is connected?
any suggestions?

Did it ever connect? How about to other networks?
Try this:
Reboot ipad by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go. Then try to connect to network.
Go to settings, Toggle airplane mode on/off. Make sure bluetooth is off. Turn on wif (airplane mode off). Try to connect.
Reset Network Settings
Go to settings/general/reset/reset network settings. Then try to connect to network.
If its your home router, then reboot router by unplugging for 5-10min. (do this while you're resetting network settings).
If problem persists, then check for firmware updates on your router.(you check router manufacturer support website for downloads and instructions).
