Either way, same result. Firefox is 3.5.7 on Ubuntu > What messages appear in the tor client logfile while this is occurring? > It's possible your tor client doesn't have a path to the hidden service > yet. A lot since I put debugging on, however, I KNOW thats not the problem. Two reasons: 1. If I telnet to 8118 or 8123 (privoxy or polio respectively, both setup to socks-4a forward EVERYTHING to socks on 9050) and issue a request by hand, it works fine. 2. If I setup firefox to use SOCKS 9050 directly, none of this happens and the page loads. You see why i am pulling my hair out. The http proxies both work fine.

I might believe that if it wasn't for the fact that the webapp's post and get methods both begin with a logging statement, and nothing shows up in the log. Also, if I disable tor, and connect directly to the webserver using normal dns, well, both apps and the forward all work fine. Very strange. I have since uninstalled torbutton, but, have the same problems. -Steve *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to [email protected] with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
