I think you're going to have to install winProxy, and see for yourself
exactly how the ajax is failing... or just tell them to run Samba (I hadn't
heard of it either)

I debug most of my ajax with firefox+firebug.

I am not sure if it happens with the contact page.  I will check
tomorrow.  All the urls are relative though. Actually I tried changing
urls to be absolute paths but that gave a javascript error.

The page that I have tested is the
http://www.gautengfilmdirectory.org.za/dir page.  There is a lot
happening on this page.  Each time a listing for a category is loaded I
think it makes 4 or 5 AJAX requests.  I tried changing the header to
text/html on the server side on the  directory page but that did not
help.  I spoke to the user with the difficulties IT guy.  He said they
have two separate proxy servers.  When he tried the page without the
proxy and it worked fine.  He then tried the page through the other
proxy which he said was 'SAMBA' and it worked fine.  So it seems like it
has something to do with WinProxy.  I must admit that I did not know
SAMBA was also a proxy server.

Also one more thing.  If you turn javascript off then everything will
work because there is a page refresh version version for search engines
and screen readers etc.  Both the AJAX and the page refresh version of
the directory use the same HTML templates to generate the listing
content so I am sure it is the combination of $.post and WinProxy
causing the problem.  Could it be that because the return data does not
have the <html> and <head> tags the proxy is blocking it?

My plan was to:

1. Ask to see the relevant proxy log entries.
2. Create my own log file on the server side to see if the AJAX request
was being allowed through the proxy, which would imply it was the return
data that was causing the problem for the proxy.
3. Try sending the <html> and <head> and maybe the doc type tags in the
server response.

Lastly I was wondering if proxy servers did create problems for AJAX
requests in general or if my problem is a very isolated incidence.

Thanks in advance.
