1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Boinc fails uploading done units: new problem (Message 38887) Posted 2 Apr 2007 by Jasonius Post: If you go to the advanced view, to the "Advanced" tab, and select "options..." and select the "HTTP Proxy" tab, what is shown for user ID and password? Howdy - Thanks for your response. I've entered my standard domain logon details in the 'HTTP proxy' area. I have also tried in the 'SOCKS proxy' area to no avail, and tried leaving both entries blank. I have tried combinations in the username field of: domainusername username username The only one which works is "domainusername" for downloading. In the ISA logs in all instances the boinc software still seems to pass the username as 'anonymous'. Any help much appreciated - my completed modules will shortly expire!
2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Boinc fails uploading done units: new problem (Message 38835) Posted 2 Apr 2007 by Jasonius Post: Howdy Gang, I've done a bit of searching around the site and can't find a reference to this problem. I was wondering whether anyone has the same issue or a workaround. I'm running Boinc 5.8.15 and have 5 completed units of work to upload. I am running Boinc on a PC connected to a corporate network, running through an isa 2003 proxy on port 8080. I can happily download 'stuff', however on upload the connection fails with error: 2/04/2007 12:25:05 PM\|rosetta@home\|[file_xfer] Started upload of file DOCKING_3rhj_SYMM_13rhj_1_d.hom001_top10.out.9_1628_922_0_0 2/04/2007 12:25:06 PM\|rosetta@home\|[file_xfer] Temporarily failed upload of DOCKING_3rhj_SYMM_13rhj_1_d.hom001_top10.out.9_1628_922_0_0: http error 2/04/2007 12:25:06 PM\|rosetta@home\|Backing off 1 hr 49 min 32 sec on upload of file DOCKING_3rhj_SYMM_13rhj_1_d.hom001_top10.out.9_1628_922_0_0 2/04/2007 12:26:05 PM\|rosetta@home\|[file_xfer] Started upload of file 2f88__BOINC_INCREASE_CYCLES10_RNA_ABINITIO-2f88_-_1620_4466_0_0 2/04/2007 12:26:06 PM\|rosetta@home\|[file_xfer] Temporarily failed upload of 2f88__BOINC_INCREASE_CYCLES10_RNA_ABINITIO-2f88_-_1620_4466_0_0: http error 2/04/2007 12:26:06 PM\|rosetta@home\|Backing off 3 hr 22 min 21 sec on upload of file 2f88__BOINC_INCREASE_CYCLES10_RNA_ABINITIO-2f88_-_1620_4466_0_0 I have checked the logs on the proxy server, and it appears that 'GET' requests (downloads) are being sent with my username/password credentials and so are getting through, however 'PUT' requests are being sent as 'anonymous' and hence are being blocked (the proxy blocks unauthenticated requests). Is this a shortfall in the program, or is there a way around this. I won't modify the settings on the corporate proxy server to allow anonymous connections. Thanks in advance! Jason.
