We've got privoxy 3.0.6 on Mac OS 10.4.11 in a lab and it's been running
well. We had a Symantec proxy upstream so I had the privoxy config forward
everything to the symantec proxy. Again everthing was working well.
We changed from symantec to a transparent proxy - Lightspeed's Total
Traffic Control. I had to put in a rule about allowing popups for the TTC
server which works fine. And most things continue to work fine.
But Appleworks 6 (6.2.9 fully updated) Clipart isn't happy anymore with the
mix of TTC and privoxy.
Applworks has a facility to lookup clipart from a webserver of Apple's. The
query goes to awpicts.apple.com and a cgi script answers and then loads
content from various akamaitech.net servers. If you are just on TTC
everything works. Previously with Privoxy and Symantec everything worked.
Now with privoxy and TTC you get some of the communication but no actual
pictures are downloaded.
Specific steps:
1) Put Mac on transparent TTC proxy (which is to say no proxy entries.)
2) Launch Appleworks and bring up "VIew Clipart" under the File menu.
3) Put in a search tag, like dog and hit return.
4) the dialogue box scrolls through messages contacting awpicts.apple.com,
then getting clippings_search.cgi (which is actually downloaded) and then
various akamaitech.net urls come up.
When the akamaitech.net urls come up each one is supposed to load a jpg
clipart in the view of the gui search field. If you look in the hd a cache
folder under Appleworks User Data starts to fill with folders and files.
If you are on privoxy under TTC you get the folders with zero content.
One of the folders has a file - <clippings_search.cgi>. Viewing the file
it's a list of urls of the form:
<a
href="http://a232.g.akamaitech.net/7/232/51/716b47a804e0d/awpicts.apple.com
/entertainment/drama_and film_t/actor.dog.jpg"><img
src="http://a232.g.akamaitech.net/7/232/51/716b47a804e0d/awpicts.apple.com/
entertainment/drama_and film_t/actor.dog.jpg"></a>
...
There is no difference in the file between the on privoxy or not.
Things I've tried:
loading awpicts.apple.com in the fragile user.action section.
loading .g.akamaitech.net in the fragile user.action section.
putting forward .g.akamaitech.net as a forward as -
forward .g.akamaitech.net .
in the privoxy config system.
I'm not ready to retool and install 3.0.8 at this moment as I have to get
used to the new installation scheme. I don't mind it but I'd prefer to
impliment it later.
