CONNECT via a proxy server seems to hang

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Greetings,

I am new to anteater but have successfully got tests running against
local webservers on our internal LAN.=20

I now want to test servers on the internet. I have to go through a proxy
to do this.=20

As described at http://aft.sourceforge.net/manual/Action%20tasks.html, I
have set:=20

$ ANTEATER_OPTS=3D'-Dhttp.proxyHost=3Dgate0a -Dhttp.proxyPort=3D8080'
$ export ANTEATER_OPTS

I added an "echo" to the anteater script and can confirm that
ANTEATER_OPTS is set when anteater runs.

I snooped on traffic to the proxy and can see a request:

	CONNECT www.cern.ch:80 HTTP/1.0

coming from anteater to the proxy, so the proxy details are being picked
up.

If I try CONNECT via telnet to the proxy manually, I get "Connection
Established" and can make a request so the proxy is working.

However, when anteater tries the same, it seems to hang at "Starting
http://www.cern.ch".

Is there anything more I need to add?

Rgds,
Owen Boyle
