Hi All
I was stress testing a site this afternoon on the local network and
had the following experiences:
- the browsers hung periodically
- the Active 4D server generated multiple sessions for the same
client browser (which all had 'cookies' on)
- one browser crashed occasionally (e.g. every 2-3 minutes of
testing but in different places)
Later I realised that all the workstations were set up to use a proxy
server and the connections to the Active 4D server were routing
through the proxy server, even though they were on the same subnet.
I created new 'Locations' on the workstations to bypass the proxy
server and re-tested with the following results
- the browsers worked smooth as silk (Safari, Firefox, IE)
- Active 4D went back to creating unique sessions for each client
browser
- no crashing occured
Obviously it appears that the use of the proxy server is causing a
problem, but I don't know enough about how proxy servers work to know
why (I assume the web server gets confused as to 'who' it's dealing
with).
Can anyone throw any light on this ? Are proxy servers a problem in
general or do I still have a problem ?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions !

- the proxy server is called 'CC Proxy' (http://www.youngzsoft.net/
