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? |
