I am running a linux suse 10.1 system with kernel version 2.6.16 and an error occurs with freshclam. As first step i download,compile and install new version of clamav 90.1, but the error is kept. The error vanished, if i use no proxy server or an external proxy server. using wwwoffle (Version 2.8e) on localhost as proxy server freshclam fails like:

I found some similar messages about freshclam-protocol-bug with buggy proxy-servers, but no explanation how to solve the problem. here are the headers of my proxy server. # head -12 /var/spool/wwwoffle/http/clamav.pcn.de/DfCHqUyiOOX9GZ4J+GuR8sw HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2007 03:11:21 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.55 (Debian) PHP/5.1.4-0.1 mod_ssl/2.0.55 OpenSSL/0.9.8c mod_perl/2.0.2 Perl/v5.8.8 Last-Modified: Mon, 19 Mar 2007 01:41:00 GMT ETag: "199de4-10396e-ae6de300" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 1063278 Cache-Control: max-age=7200 Expires: Mon, 19 Mar 2007 05:11:21 GMT Connection: close Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 thanks for hints and solution, joerg jenderek -- Jörg Jenderek email: joerg.jen.der.ek (at) gmx.net Germany PGP: B9FE A356 283E 0048 6389 18BF AFF2 B1C9 421A D4D6 _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
