strace of ximian-connector setup program (138.54 KB, application/x-gzip)

Description Don Pandori 2005-09-28 16:16:18 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Trying to use Evolution Connector and even though http/https proxy settings are
defined, it refuses to honor them and tries to connect directly.  This worked in
earlier versions of Evolution (1.x).

Steps to reproduce:
Make sure you are on a network that requires http/https proxies to get out to
the Internet.

1. Fire the evolution connector setup program
2. Enter appropriate information for userid and OWA URL
3. Click Authenticate




Actual results:
It ignores the http/https proxy settings and tries to connect directly to the
OWA server

Expected results:
It would work.

Does this happen every time?
yes, in this scenario

Other information:
I'm running SuSE 9.3 with KDE 3.4 as my window environment.  I've configured the
http/https proxies via the system and through my normal user environment.

Please get the E2K_DEBUG traces while you are configuring your account. That
should give us some hints on to what exactly is failing for you. The procedure
for getting this traces is available at bottom half of this page.

My web proxy configuration is as such:

env | grep proxy
http_proxy=http://10.125.8.38:8080/
ftp_proxy=http://10.125.8.38:8080/
https_proxy=http://10.125.8.38:8080/

I ran:
E2K_DEBUG=4  ximian-connector-setup-2.4 >& ximian-setup-e2k_debug.log

which resulted in an empty log.  What I did do is a 'netstat -an | grep ^tcp'
and saw: 
netstat -an | grep ^tcp
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:631             0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:37435         0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      1 10.72.32.99:1706        64.xx.xx.xx:443          SYN_SENT
tcp        0      0 :::22                   :::*                    LISTEN


The 64.xx.xx.xx is the IP address of the webmail server.  It does resolve, but
there is no direct access and I have to use an http/https/ftp proxy to get to
the outside world.

I also tried turning off resolving hosts via DNS to see if that would force it
to use the proxy and this also failed.

Thanks.

Here is an strace of the setup program.  I compressed it because it is bigger
than the 1M limit.
