I was running 8.309 with local content filtering “mem” option and the UTM was running great. Using Up2date I upgraded to 8.310 and after restarting I could not browse the web. TOP showed the http proxy at 100%. I waited an hour and restarted the UTM again but had the same problem. Disabling web filtering was the only way to restore web browsing. I reinstalled 8.309 from ISO, restored my backup with local content filtering enabled and immediately updated to 8.310. This produced the same issue with http proxy at 100%. I set the local content filtering back to “none” and restarted the proxy and browsing returned to normal.
I noticed these lines in the web filter log……
2013:06:22-09:59:25 pandorica httpproxy[6362]: id="0003" severity="info" sys="SecureWeb" sub="http" request="(nil)" function="sc_log" file="scr_scanner.c" line="1153" message="The download function returned a permanent error"
2013:06:22-09:59:25 pandorica httpproxy[6362]: id="0003" severity="info" sys="SecureWeb" sub="http" request="(nil)" function="sc_update_list" file="scr_scanner.c" line="724" message="failed to download list: 41, status 5"
I removed the local content database by deleting the sfcontrol file and re-enabled local content filtering with the “mem” option and restarted the http proxy. I monitored the successful download of the database and the http proxy was functional again with local content filtering enabled.
After restarting the UTM I again have a proxy running at 100%, no web browsing and a failed local content database download.
If 8.310 no longer supports local content database filtering I will return to 8.309 but want to ask first if anyone else had observed this behavior.
