Bug ID: 7703
Summary: sa-update aborts unnecessarily on IPv6-only hosts with
valid proxy
Product: Spamassassin
Version: 3.4.2
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: sa-update

Patch to ignore check_mirror_af result if proxy is configured
We are using sa-update on a mail filter host that only has IPv6 to connect to
the outside. Our update channel, on the other hand, only supports IPv4.
To solve this problem, a Squid proxy server was installed on the gateway. It
serves as an HTTP proxy on IPv6 on the LAN and can connect to the outside with
IPv4.
Current result:
sa-update exits with
dbg: generic: reject mirror http://www.spamassassin.heinlein-support.de: no
common address family (IPv6)
channel: could not find working mirror, channel failed
Expected result:
sa-update should ignore the situation because it has an HTTP proxy to use, so
it does not need to open a socket to the mirror itself.
The issue is fixed by the attached patch. It ignores the check_mirror_af result
if a proxy for the mirror's protocol is defined in the environment.
