"Timeout while reading response from Server"

Hi there,

Astaro's web filter is getting a pain in the neck. It causes more and more frustration.

Right now we have a class of students in a room who have to do an exam/a test online using www.coa2.co.uk (Java based).

Some students want to finish the test, some others want to access the website and the Astaro comes up with a client error window in the browser: "Timeout while reading response from Server".

Reviewing the web filter log I even see different URLs having that problem:


2012:02:03-11:23:18 disgwac httpproxy[6111]: id="0002" severity="info" sys="SecureWeb" sub="http" name="web request blocked" action="block" method="POST" srcip="172.16.2.42" dstip="194.168.43.38" user="" statuscode="502" cached="0" profile="REF_KbKfywLeRp (School)" filteraction="REF_DefaultHTTPCFFAction (Default content filter action)" size="0" request="0xa3a1330" url="www.coa2.co.uk/.../" exceptions="av,auth,content,url,ssl,certcheck,certdate,mime,cache,fileextension" error="Timeout while reading response from Server"

These are just 3 examples of many lines repeating in similar form.

The website above I had/have already excluded from everything: AV Scanning, URL ContentFiltering... but it doesn't help.

Do you have any suggestions?

Sincerely,
Uwe

    Looked good for about a minute...

    Why am I even seeing this in the logs if it's in the transparent skip list?
  • source 172.20.1.200 what ip is that?
  • (ADSSO)
    are you using http proxy in standard mode with authentication?
  • Transparent mode authentication is set to "none"
  • hrmm my post got lost..[:)]  try disabling the proxy and setup a firewlla rule that lalows http traffic.  Does everything work then?
  • Strangely, no.  It does the same thing:  I am able to connect for a minute or so then I'm disconnected.
  • ok have you setup shell access yet?  if so login as root and do an ifconfig eth(whatever number your wan interface is) and see if there are any errors noted
  • it also appears you have support..have you activated them yet?
  • Here's the ifconfig

    I contacted support about a week ago.  Worked with them for about an hour then he was going to check with a senior tech and get back with me.  I've not heard from him even after pinging for a follow up a couple of times.  That's why I thought I would bring my issue here thinking that surely someone else had run into this problem.
