1 website doesn't work with proxy

I run a HTTP/HTTPS proxy server but one of our clients is having trouble accessing http://www.sportingindex.com/

Can anyone see if the login button is using some kind of weird connection feature? I thought it might be using flash or something rerouting the connection through something other than port 80 (or 8080 for the proxy) but not sure if that is the issue.
I just used a fake login and password but instead of giving me the incorrect password error the page just hangs.

Hi,

I just tried accessing using test/test as user/password combination and got a popup stating login details are incorrect and some contact information. So that part seems to work.

Kind regards,

Eric

Yes, but were you using a proxy server?
Can you see anything in the HTML source that would mean it is using flash or some other proprietary connection that would stop it using HTML?

I had some of these set on the proxy, now commented out, could that cause an issue?

Hi. I just tried to login with test/test combination through this proxy server (browser type), and the webpage just re-loads again, with no error or output, an doesn't even attempt a log-in.

When I did the same without the proxy it brought back the said message of not being able to log in.

I ran the command "netstat -t -u" in a Terminal while I attempted the login,and it outputted this information:

I don't know much about proxies or servers, but perhaps that info may give you some insight as to why this happens.

I am using a squid proxy server and I seem to get it to work properly. I can load the site and when I tried the same login as Eric, ( test and test ), I get a pop saying user or password incorrect. it seems it is a javascript pop up. So you should test if javascripts are allowed on your browser.

Very good point and a nice catch :-) If the Browser JS settings are good, it may also be worth checking the proxy is set to allow javascript, in particular .js files. Just my 50 pence worth.

Yes, Javascript is allowed on my browser and the proxy.

From the above, it seems to be using the www port 80 all the time doesn't it?
