Invalid request message in HTTP Proxy

lkar
Hello,

I have the following problem: I have setup HTTP Proxy in Authentication mode with ASG v7.001. In some web sites, especially to those that need to submit a uname/pass combination or a form, I get the following error in IE:

The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to process the request: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/ POSThttp: //h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDownloadEventHandler.jsp?redirectReason=SWD_FTP_Request&swItem=ob-45958-1&prodSeriesId=1839146&prodLine=KV&targetPage=ftp%3A%2F%2Fftp.hp.com%2Fpub%2Fsoftpaq%2Fsp32501-33000/sp32646.exe&filesize=37228360 HTTP/1.1 Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/x-shockwave-flash, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/msword, */* Referer: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=1839154&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=1839146&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=1093 Accept-Language: en-us Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded UA-CPU: x86 User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Length: 29 Cookie: EMID=; lang=en; cc=us; s_lang=en; s_cc=true; s_sq=%5B%5BB%5D%5D; ServerID=2042; JSESSIONID=FhKhGGtZ0LQXKhPNnrFyLCvPqyXSGsv24j2vgZ2V4hsJ2qtHvXrW!-1123933028 Pragma: no-cache Host: h20000.www2.hp.com 

The following error was encountered: Invalid Request
Some aspect of the HTTP Request is invalid. 

Possible problems:
• Missing or unknown request method 
• Missing URL 
• Missing HTTP Identifier (HTTP/1.0) 
• Request is too large 
• Content-Length missing for POST or PUT requests 
• Illegal character in hostname; underscores are not allowed 

In squid.log I get:

2007:02:22-20:49:24 (none) squid[9301]: parseHttpRequest: Unsupported method 'http://h20000.www2.hp.com/'
2007:02:22-20:49:24 (none) squid[9301]: clientReadRequest: FD 13 Invalid Request

I have also noticed that under self monitor I get the following error too often (almost every five minutes):
007:02:22-12:32:46 (none) selfmonng[3263]: I check Failed increment smtpscan_running counter 1 - 3

!!!IMPORTANT!!! I've noticed that When I am testing with firefox everything is ok except of the selfmon.log messages which are persistent.

Any help will be appriciated!

    I found out that if I set the HTTP proxy to Standard or Transparent mode everything is working just fine. If I set it back to Active Directory SSO the problem re-appears.

    I'd open a trouble ticket with Astaro Support.. this is definitely one they need to know about... they don't always watch these forums for issues, so the best way to get it resolved is to start a trouble ticket.

    Thanks BrukeConvergent, I have already done that thru my local Astaro Distributor but the proccess is very slow. I hope that they will be able to resolve this issue soon enough.

    Great... some folks post here and think that's the best way to get Astaro involved... I find things move faster for me when I call / email them directly.  I hope they get this fixed, could be a big problem for everyone!

    That's actually a microsoft bug - please check if http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823099 is a possible solution.

    If it's something urgent, I agree, open an official trouble ticket with Astaro. But I also like to post to the forum so that others who run into the issue can learn about it, too. [:)]

    I've made the registry change to two test machines. At a first glance looks that this action bypasses the problem. I hope that it will continue to work after further testing. I will get back to you with the results.

    After two days of testing, looks like the ptoblem was the IE CRLF registry fix. Thanks Svens!
