Problem on Mavericks with socks proxy connections (AV version 9.0.6)

bouscram

Hi 

I have discovered a problem when trying to connect to the web through a SOCKS proxy : when Web Protection is active in Sophos AV (only one of the options need to be on), the connection is impossible (in fact, the TCP connection to the proxy is established, but nothing goes through it).

There is no warning, and nothing in the logs, so I guess it is a bug.

Can you look at it ?

I have seen the problem on 2 different Macs running 10.9.1

    Here are the details (I have seen the same problem with 2 different Macs using the same settings) :

    OS X 10.9.1

    SOCKS proxy created with the default OpenSSH from the OS (6.2p2) / I also tried with 6.1p1 with the same result (command used : ssh -D 8888 remotehost)

    The proxy can be local or on another machine with the same result

    The problem is present with Safari or Chrome (which use the global system proxy setting) or Firefox (using the global proxy settings or its own). It appears only when one of Sophos'  "Web Protection" options is "ON".

    What happens is that the TCP connection to the proxy opens correctly, but nothing more is transmitted by the browser (I checked with Wireshark). There is no log of Sophos blocking anything.

    Removing Web Protection corrects immediately the problem.
