Hi all,

Just a quick question - I know the readme file says I can set a proxy in OWB by setting HTTP_PROXY ENV ... but (showing my ignorance here) where do I set this (config file)? Also, would it support authentication?

Ditto

ENV variables are best set (and unset) from within shell, same way it is done on AmigaOS:

setenv save HTTP_PROXY proxyaddress

Great, thanks Andreas

and how can i unset it again? right now i cant get online anymore with MOS.

> how can i unset it again?

unsetenv HTTP_PROXY

And some might find it more comfortable to edit/delete HTTP_PROXY file in ENVARC: and/or ENV: assigns. It's just plain text file there, where you can change proxy address with text editor. ENVARC: is on HD and everything there is taken in use after reboot. ENV: is located on ram disk and changes there are for the current session.

could you explain what is the proxyaddress for and where to get it? Thanks in advance.

Try to link www.equibase.com with MorphOS. What happened?

Unable to Load Page

A problem occurred while loading the URL http://www.equibase.com/

Error 56: Failure when receiving data from the peer.

THE BUTTERFLY IS OFF LIMITS TO THA SITE!

It seems the Parcel2Go website is also off-limits to MorphOS. I get the same error requester message:

Unable to open 'http://www.parcel2go.com.'
Error 56:Failure when receiving data from the peer

Hope this helps to track down what's causing the rejection of access to the site, but I have had an SSL error related message sometimes when I get an error message.
I'm using a Mac Mini with MorphOS 3.

@osco

Maybe your proxy setting is wrong. But anyway, if your site doesn't work, it's not because of odyssey itself, but because of the underlying TCP stack. As a proof, try to wget from that site, and you'll get the very same result (stalling connection). That's because it relies on fragmented packets somehow, as far as i can see, which is not supported by Netstack.

@NewSense

Your issue with that parcel2go site is entirely different, and is due to a bug in the cURL/OpenSSL combination, and it's not directly related to WebKit nor Odyssey itself. Maybe they fix it someday. :) That's not something i plan to investigate, and the issue doesn't arise very often, fortunately. Most SSL sites work fine.

I really wanted to be able to use the Parcel 2Go site using OWB, and from what you say that's going to be a big disappointment if it's not going to get fixed.

Is the bug that you are aware of going to be passed to, and looked into by the people looking after the cURL/Open SSL code?

Any bug is a cause for concern, especially if it's one that's known about, so I hope you can at least pass it to those who are supposed to be looking into the cURL/OpenSSL package.

Thanks for your quick response by the way. Appreciated

The proxyaddress is the IP or host name of an HTTP proxy server:

If you don't already have one, you don't need one ;-)
