The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 8244 Logged by: Jos Annevelink Email address: jannevel...@anwb.nl PostgreSQL version: 9.2.4 Operating system: Windows 7 Description:
Stack Builder fails to retrieve http://www.postgresql.org/applications-v2.xml. This used to work in the old days when we had direct access to the internet. Now we sitting behind proxies. My conclusion now is that this error is due to an incorrect HTTP Host header value. I experimented a little and changed the proxy to localhost 7777. I also started a local "nc -l 7777" (nc, i.e "netcat" inside X-Windows on top of Cygwin). Here is what Stack Builder send and nc received: GET http://www.postgresql.org/applications-v2.xml HTTP/1.0 Host: localhost User-Agent: wxWidgets 2.x The error seems to be the Host header value. It mentions the proxy host ("localhost"), but should mention the targeted HTTP server ("www.postgresql.org"). If all this still works for others, then my situation may be compounded by all kinds of traffic auditing and filtering "services" in our company proxy server stopping the (invalid) request from ever getting to www.postgresql.org. When I use telnet targeting our proxy server and use GET ... HTTP/1.1 in combination with "Host: www.postgresql.org", then the request gets thru and the requested xml file is returned. I've installed postgresql-9.2.4-1-windows-x64.exe and I'm running its Stack Builder 3.1.0. All on top the latest Windows 7 Enterprise (64 bit version). -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
