Are you sure? I just tried it manually with telnet: # telnet proxyserver 8080 Trying <IP Address>... Connected to proxyserver. CONNECT www.heise.de:80 HTTP/1.1 Proxy-Authorization:Basic blahblahblahbase64 HTTP/1.1 200 Connection established GET / HTTP/1.1 HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request IIUC the proxy itself supports HTTP/1.1 but not the webserver behind the proxy? That's the same proxy that takes hours to download the patches with httpget.Received on Thu Jan 30 2014 - 10:07:27 UTC
