Hi Steve,
Interesting info, and it certainly looks like Authoxy is doing something wrong. Unfortunately it is really hard to do much about it unless I can get the network traffic data. I'll try to track down a copy of Entourage in the meantime, but I don't know what my chances are there.
Best option would be to get you to log the traffic so I could see what is going on, but that's far from trivial. It is particularly difficult because of the trouble pinpointing the moment when the problem occurs. If you could reproduce the problem, it'd be great to get a copy of the tcpdump output. Running tcpdump and getting the output itself is not an absolutely simple task either. Best bet if you are not familiar with it already, might be to try to find a friendly local nerd who might give you a hand.

More info (in case Heath is around):
1. I found one offending program - MS Entourage. ON startup and at intervals during using it, it obviously uses HTTP for something (unrelated to actually reading any emails) ... this will return the "Unexpected server response in NTLM authentication Step 2. Giving up." Could it be Entourage can do NTLM so a proxied NTLM request fails?
2. Certain websites will cause the same error - no idea. What I dod know is that certain sites (usually have .asp or .jsp page references) also cause the error.
There must be a problem with the authoxy code though....because after a certain # of these errors (it varies), Authoxy stops responding and delivers the Fatal Error: unable to create shared memory

Steve,
thanks for the reply. I will try running on a different port just in case. Since 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 I thought this problem was solved too but it started going wrong again, which lead me to conclude:
1. Our IT guys changed config on the server
2. An update from Apple screwed it. I uninstalled Authoxy and re-installed it and also did the repair permissions mojo etc. to no avail.
Regards,
Steve

I have had very little problems or lost connections with it, once Heath made
some changes (3.1.1. to 3.1.2).
Are you running Authoxy on the same port as the proxy? Our proxy is 8080, I
run Authoxy on 8081. In the the NTLM tab, I'm not sure how much is relevant
there to dropped connections, but our proxy is on the "MAIN" server and my
powerbook is named "SSTRATPBOOK" in the Sharing preferences, so that's what
I have there.
As far as compatible apps, I have not found any apple app to be
incompatible, including iPhoto, iTunes, Safari (but use FireFox and get the
plugin called "SwitchProxy" if you're mobile between proxy/nonproxy
locations!), Software Update. Most non-apple apps are compatible, even stuff
like Microsoft Office Application Update. I only found Skype and MaxiBidder
that didn't work. Of course I haven't tried everything.

Hi,
I've been using Authoxy for some time here at work, where almost everything
is MS based including our procy server. In the past I had occasional problem
with pages not being served and the web browser giving an error..I would then
have to reboot because no combination of stop/start authoxy, log in or log out
or changing locations and then back again would get the proxy to serve me
pages again. Later versions of authoxy 3.11, 3.12 seemed to be better in this
regards, killing and re-spawning threads seemed to work. Now it's gone back to
the old behaviour...I can get anywhere from 5 to 30 mins working and then
*boom*.
It is conceivable that our IT dept upgraded the server and there are version
issues (e.g. a timeout maybe) Has anyone else encountered this and found a
possible solution?
Stuck using Mac IE 5.xx right now and none of the other internet apps work
without Authoxy working well.
i wish Apple would build an NTLM auth module into the OS...Mac is practically
useless without Authoxy.
Thanks,
Steve
