Error while testing with proxy

Hi.

We are testing wyBuild (V 2.6.14) at this time and have some problems with proxy.

At most of our customers our applications running behind a password protected proxy.

So we implemented this test situation. We don't get it work right.Other applications like e.g. FileZilla is running well after adding proxy parameters.

Monitoring of network traffic shows, that wyUpdate allways try directly to connect to the server stored in client.wyc.

Even if we run wyUpdate.exe with commandline parameters no change happens.

Used commandline:wyUpdate.exe -proxy:"http://192.168.243.40:808/"

Also tried with -proxy="...", because all other commands semantics is like this --> not successful.

What we are doing wrong? Can you help us?

With best regards

Guenter

Hey Guenter,

When wyUpdate downloads files it first tries the proxies on the system or ones you specified. If those proxies fail then it tries to directly download the file. So the problem is that wyUpdate is failing to connect to your proxy.

You say your proxy is password protected, and yet you're not passing a username or password. You must. Something like this:

wyUpdate.exe -proxy:"http://proxyserver:80/" -proxyp:"PASSWORD" -proxyu:"USERNAME"

Hi Sam,

I tried it also with wyUpdate.exe -proxy:"http://192.168.243.40:808/" -proxyp:"1234567" -proxyu:"GPIN"

Snippet of network monitor:

No. Time offset Process name Source Destination Pr. Content 27 6.5781549 wyUpdate.exe GPI-LAPTOP ftp.strato.com TCP TCP:Flags=......S., SrcPort=49466, DstPort=FTP control(21), PayloadLen=0, ...

If I understand proxy correct then should be destination my named proxy server.

What I'am doing wrong??

Best regards

There are a thousand things that might be going wrong. Your proxy server might be misconfigured. Maybe you're passing in incorrect proxy url/user/pass. Etc. It might also be because you're using an FTP download site and wyUpdate contacts ftp download sites using "passive" connections.

The first thing to try is an HTTP download site. That is host your downloads on an HTTP server. It will have the added benefit of being faster than FTP as well.

Hey Sam,

the problem is solved.

We used a FTP download via a HTTP proxy. WyUpdate can't handle this.

Now we use a HTTP download with a HTTP proxy and all is running well.

Thanks for your support.
