Yes, sourcepath is for jdk/1.2+ it is very useful and nice to have.
Maybe some day I will do something to check if that option is
available so makefile can be more correct.

Without the sourcepath you have to compile the classes in the correct
order or rather try to compile everything until it does not generate
any more errors (3 times for me).

This indicates that your CLASSPATH is not correct. More specifically
you do not have the classes.zip in your CLASSPATH

Yes, that is a _bug_ in rabbit, there are a few errors in
GeneralHeader and a few in Connection, I did change this for the next
release of RabbIT.

Change the "....add (...)" into "....addElement (....)" and the
"...get (...)" into "...elementAt (...)" and everything should
compile under jdk/1.1

> Did any one succeed in compiling Rabbit2 on jdk1.1?
Now it does for me.

If you dont want to change thoose lines yourself, I have uploaded:
http://www.khelekore.org/rabbit/RabbIT2-2.0.22.tar.gz
http://www.khelekore.org/rabbit/RabbIT2-2.0.22.zip

untar/unzip the file and you should be able to run with
"java rabbit.proxy.Proxy", and please have CLASSPATH unset or set it
to ".:/usr/lib/jdk1.1/lib/classes.zip" (correct the classes.zip if
you have it in some other place).

These are not the 2.0.22 release, consider them as pre-releases, I
belive that they should work better than 2.0.21 (in a few very rare
cases having to do with http/1.1).

Well, I should say that the Make file looks strange to me and in any 
case, javac (at least in jdk1.1) does not support -sourcepath switch.

I have tried to remove the switch to allow the compilation
After that I get numerous errors, the first one is:

RabbIT2/src/rabbit/awt/ImageComponent.java:5: Package java.awt not
found in import.
import java.awt.*;

This suggests to me that java1.1 does not have something like
java.awt or some path is set wrong...

jmake, does not  use -sourcepath, but does not work, generating a
errors like this one:
src/rabbit/http/GeneralHeader.java:212: Method
add(rabbit.http.GeneralHeader. Header) not found in class
java.util.Vector.
        headers.add (h)

So either there is some problem with the java switches or
the proxy does not compile on jdk1.1 at all.
Did any one succeed in compiling Rabbit2 on jdk1.1?

Thanks

Lazar

Re: [Rabbit-proxy-users] Installation problem

[Robert O. <d9...@na...>]

Hello!

As I said before if you can aford the time to download a new jdk it
is worth it. Jdk/1.4 is much better than jdk/1.1...

> Thank you for your speedy reply, however, that did not help
> ...
> and I tried

Ok, unpack and try to run it anyway, both the zip and the tar.gz
contain a prebuild set of classes.

> The error which I get is
> Error loading class rabbit.installer.Installer: Bad major version
> number

Interesting....

> Is it possible that RabbIT2.zip is compiled with java 1.4 and I am
> using 1.1 and this is causing the problem?

Hmmm yes, that could be a problem. I compile RabbIT with 1.4.x
nowdays. I do no longer have a 1.1 jdk, havent needed one for a long
time.

> Should I try to compile from the source code?

Sure try that..

> jmake produces the following errors:

its better to use the Makefile "make everything" should be the right
thing for jdk/1.1. "make code" when you have changed one or a few of
the .java-files.

Yes I have tried that. I have the CLASSPATH set to 
/usr/lib/jdk1.1/lib/classes.zip (where classes.zip is)

and I tried
java -classpath RabbIT2.zip:$CLASSPATH rabbit.installer.Installer

or explicitly setting the path to classes.zip as you suggest.
The error which I get is
Error loading class rabbit.installer.Installer: Bad major version
number

Is it possible that RabbIT2.zip is compiled with java 1.4 and I am
using 1.1 and this is causing the problem?

Should I try to compile from the source code?

jmake produces the following errors:

Re: [Rabbit-proxy-users] Installation problem

[Robert O. <d9...@na...>]

Hello!

> I have jdk1.1 installed in my linux system.
You really should upgrade to a more modern jdk. Even though the
1.4.1_01 from sun is not totally free it is gratis.

> As it is recommended to download RabbIT2.zip and run
> java -classpath RabbIT2.zip rabbit.installer.Installer

Yes, that is for jdk/1.2+
For jdk/1.1 you have to add the classes.zip to the CLASSPATH if you
run with classpath.
So try to do a "locate classes.zip" say it returns
/usr/lib/jdk1.1.8/lib/classes.zip, retry the installer with:
java -classpath RabbIT2.zip:/usr/lib/jdk1.1.8/lib/classes.zip rabbit.installer.Installer

> jr prints the same error and hangs (I have to kill it with Ctrl+C)
jr should work after you have managed to get it installed, it reads
the file classpath which is incorrect for your setup...

> Maybe jdk1.1 is the problem, but the web page states that rabbit works
> in 1.1 and I have no ability to upgrade java...

It should work with jdk1.1, but report any errors you get.

[Rabbit-proxy-users] Installation problem

[Z F <mai...@ya...>]

Hello everyone,

Based on the RabbIT's description, it is an interesting proxy which
I would like to  try out.
I have tried to install it with no success and need some help with it.
I should point out that I do not know java, so I might need help
with stupid and obvious things...

I have jdk1.1 installed in my linux system.

Here is the problem
 
As it is recommended to download RabbIT2.zip and run
java -classpath RabbIT2.zip rabbit.installer.Installer

This failed with error
"Unable to initialize threads: cannot find class java/lang/Thread"

I have tried:
java -classpath $CLASSPATH:RabbIT2.zip rabbit.installer.Installer

with the same result
I know that java works since I can run my "hello world" program (the
only program I can write in java)

OK, so I have moved to the less preferred installation method and
downloaded the source code. I should say that 

jr prints the same error and hangs (I have to kill it with Ctrl+C)
jmake fails with 10 errors during compilation.

Maybe jdk1.1 is the problem, but the web page states that rabbit works
in 1.1 and I have no ability to upgrade java...

All input is highly appreciated. Thank you very much and happy New Year

Lazar

[Rabbit-proxy-users] Thanks. proxy authentication works well now

[demonic <de...@co...>]

Thanks so much for your help and cool proggy. I have it up and running!

Re: [Rabbit-proxy-users] How do you get the proxy authentication to work?

[Robert O. <d9...@na...>]

Hello!

> I am looking to get RabbIT2 to Perform proxy authentication on all user=
s.

Start by editing conf/allowed to have the username:password
combinations you want. This file is not encrypted, but then neither
is the password as it is sent over the network. Anyone that can sniff
the traffic will know the username-password. Switching to digest is
possible and may perhaps be done in the future.

edit conf/rabbit.conf so that the httpinfilters look like this:
httpinfilter=3Drabbit.filter.HTTPBaseFilter,rabbit.filter.ProxyAuth

(It seems like ProxyAuth depends on HTTPBaseFilter which probably is
a  bug....)

restart RabbIT...
Should work as you want...

[Rabbit-proxy-users] How do you get the proxy authentication to work?

[demonic <de...@co...>]

I am looking to get RabbIT2 to Perform proxy authentication on all users. I 
just love this software and i can not use the ip authentication because i log 
on from far to many places sometime i don't even know where it will be from. 
So you can see i need to make it work with just a password.
 I have it working up to there. It is running on redhat 7.0 java 1.3.1 and 
runs great. I have done what it has said in the config file and it does bring 
up the password box in IE but when i send the password to the server it does 
not take then and asks for it again again and so on. I have left the allowed
file just as it is downloaded. and have gone as far as recompiled it all be 
no good. If someone can help i will jump up and down with joy. Because i want 
to be able to use the proxy full time and leave it running. Thanks

You can always check the logs...
the error_log should say something like:

well that should not work.

for me this is either of:

http://orc.mydungeon.net:9666/   (note: my 192.168 domain, not the

It will not. It should be posible to write an image filter that uses
the sun jpeg encoder (jdk/1.2 and later) but I have not done soo..

Convert (the recomended for unix-systems) are also available for
windows (we use it at work for some small task on both linux and
win-2k. Search the net for binaries...

[Rabbit-proxy-users] Rabbit Proxy on NTx Systems

[Michael W. <mi...@do...>]

I would really like to get Rabbit Proxy working on my system.
I have run it from a cmd as java rabbit.proxy.Proxy, and it does seem 
to run silently.
I set up my browser's proxy settings to localhost and port 9666
Thats as far as I got.
I can't go http://localhost:9666/Metapage as it doesn't work, or 
anything.
Can anyone advise me on how to get this working, and will it reduce 
images without any external programs?

Thanks,
Michael
