most of the issues you raised in your form post re stormy's outproxy now fixed. the remaining "issues" won't be, zzz, on account of the limitations of the proxy server and the way it serves the error pages.
dr|z3d
we may opt for a more fine-grained approach regarding error codes, but for the time being, it's a one size fits all proposition.
StormyCloud
Will get setup instructions done tomorrow
zzz
thanks dr|z3d StormyCloud will take a look when I get a chance
dr|z3d
one of the routers had various issues that you probably noticed that should mostly now be taken care of.
dr|z3d
I'm leaving the issue with ipv6 for StormyCloud, disabled on the problematic router for now.
zzz
ok. I don't know if it's bad luck I keep having connectivity troubles when I test or not, but we'll be mainly relying on the ops to tell us it's converging to stability
dr|z3d
content length or chunked encoding is something the proxy doesn't do, its http is fairly basic, just enough to serve a single file.
dr|z3d
I'd only looked at one of the 2 servers previously.. when I looked at the previously unseen router, there were issues that needed fixing. so hopefully it should be more reliable now.
zzz
yeah chunked is a pita, but if you can script it enough to stuff the length in the header then the browser knows when it's done
zzz
I'm not even sure that non-chunked, no-length-header is even legal
zzz
obviously it works
dr|z3d
yeah, works, main thing, and it'll be more or less instantly delivered now.
zzz
maybe I'm over-focusing on the error page, since most traffic should be https? dunno
dr|z3d
sorry we don't have a several hundred K background image of a Norwegian valley in there, I feel like I've let you down.
zzz
yeah that was madness
dr|z3d
you'd have thought 90%+ traffic would be https, sure. not much left online running of these days.
dr|z3d
*off
zzz
perhaps the primary use is just for people going direct to http//exit
dr|z3d
for the most part, probably. https will bypass that error page as you're implying, so http errors and direct to exit is pretty much what it'll handle.
