Web filtering is fiddling with Ubuntu updates

I've enabled web filtering (ASGv7) and it seems to be fiddling with the Ubuntu updates which are run from LAN hosts. It breaks the updates in many cases while Ubuntu apt is trying to fetch package headers. There are a number of well-known update repo servers and I've put them in the exception list in ASG in the following format, but still the problem remains.

Exception List (i.e. don't filter for requests to these external hosts)
.ubuntu.com
*.ubuntu.com
us.archive.ubuntu.com
*.archive.ubuntu.com
.getautomatix.com
*.getautomatix.com
.canonical.com
*.canonical.com

If you get an error message like "400 Bad Request", than this is an known issue which will be fixed in one of the next up2dates. In the meantime, you can workaround this issue by adding

Acquire::http:[:P]ipeline-Depth "0";

to /etc/apt/apt.conf

Cheers,

Sven.

Sven,
Thanks for that info. To be honest I have not seen that error but will try what you said.

Thanks!
