Hi all.
I am about at my wits end with these Apple products not getting along with proxies (still having issues with ipads on ios5 with youtube - but that is a whole other issue).
We have several MACs running OSX 10.6.8 (snow leopard) in an art lab. When students try to upload images to glogster.com, they appear to start the transfer just fine, but it hangs partway through and will not finish. The same students can perform this operation just fine on Windows 7 machines in our district. (for the record - I am running ASG 8.203 virtually in vsphere 4 in eDirectory SSO mode authenticating to Novell OES Linux servers). I have added glogster.com to the "allow" list for URL filtering, made an exception for the URL "^https?://[A-Za-z0-9.]+\.glogster.com/" skipping Caching / Extension blocking / MIME type blocking / URL Filter / Content Removal / Certificate Trust Check / Certificate Date Check - and it still will not work.
Nothing shows up in either the web filtering or firewall live logs. We even tried using firefox instead of safari - still no luck. If I put the machine on a special network segment that I allow to bypass the proxy - it works, but it refuses to work through the proxy. It *HAS* to be something with the way the MACs handle proxy configuration. The Windows 7 machines work fine and we are testing with the same user accounts on both, so their rules, rights, and access levels are all the same on both OSes.
any ideas?
