I just tried with transparent HTTP Proxy and wget downloading a 10 Megabyte file with --limit-rate=200k using virus protection. The problem did not occure. Could you please post the configuration of your http proxy and a link to the file you are downloading?
I may have found a solution to this stupid issue. Apparently, even though the content scanning is disabled in the HTTP proxy, the scanning still takes place (i.e. hyperdyper CPU usasage jumps through the roof). Why it uses 100% CPU when scanning is beyond me.
Anyway, I have re-activated content scanning, I have deleted ALL profiles, even the default ones and then hyperdyper suddenly stopped being a problem. I have not done anything else to the firewall so this must've solved it. Hopefully this is a bug and will be solved in a future patch.
Hi, thats a workaround for the "hyperdyper puts cpu on 100% problem" but if you do so, there is no content filtering and no Virus-scanning. Thats not a solution for me. If noone makes a download there's no hyperdyper-problem, so is there a possibility to stop the downloading of files via the http-proxy ??
I am sorry, not really folowing. What do you mean by another squid in the network ? Are you saying that a box on the inside network is running squid and that squid is causing the firewall to act like this ? How ? If so, how come I dont see requests from that squid ? Or maybe I am not looking in the right place ?
This is what my guess is. I do not know how they talk to each other in detail, but I wanted to share my solution hereby, since it worked for me. When I find out more, I will let you know. I also reported this to Astaro.
Just to avoid everything is lumped together, can you be more precise? What do you see in the logs (e.g. http_access.log, contentfilter.log, squid.log), that refers to it?
