jibba Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Hi,I have privoxy installed as a local proxy on my machine, and I've set utorrent to go through it for HTTP requests - but now RSS feeds don't download! Utorrent can connect to trackers for torrents through the proxy just fine. If I open the RSS config window and click Update Now I can see in the proxy logs utorrent's trying to get the RSS feed, but nothing appears in the RSS window, and utorrent just goes back to "Next update in..." I tried the beta 406 build but it's the same. If I proxy IE or firefox through the same proxy, they have no problems getting the RSS feed, so I'm guessing it must be a bug in utorrent? I can't think of anything dumb I could be doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerboy Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Hi, I have the same problem. I use Tor and privoxy installed as a local proxy through HTTP requests. utorrent connects to trackers without difficulty but will not get any RSS feed. When I change to 'none' for proxy in the connections dialogue box, the feeds come through with no problem. Any suggestions how to keep my local proxy on and still get feeds??bikerboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erafy Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I am having exactly the same problem. Although in my case, usually RSS feeds without Cookies worked correctly, but if the RSS URL had ":COOKIE:", the request that went through to the proxy literally had that URL, returning a 404. Is this going to be fixed in 1.7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Hazel Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 I tested with an HTTP proxy (twisted.web.proxy) and had no problems getting feeds. 1.7 will have error logging for RSS, so perhaps the problem will be obvious then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
