Hi Omer, I went to the haze debug logs and found that the proxy server was denying tunnelling to the 5050 port. Therefore, I changed the squid.conf (squid proxy configuration) file and added the following line
acl SSL_ports port 5050 # Empathy - Yahoo connection I know that you know why I did this but for everyone else's benefit ... Put this line at the bottom of the existing 'acl SSL_ports port ...' lines. By default, squid defines a few ports that are allowed to use the connect tunnel and adds the ports into a list named SSL_ports. By adding the line above, it adds the 5050 port to the SSL_ports list and then squid allows the connect to all the ports listed in SSL_ports. Thank you very much Omer for helping to find the problem. To everyone else, good luck :) One last thing, if you don't control your proxy server, for example you use a company proxy server, you would have to ask the administrator to enable port 5050 tunnelling. >From my point of view, this bug report can be marked as complete, and as a non-bug for Empathy etc except perhaps to mention in the Empathy documentation, that some sites (eg Yahoo) require tunnelling to be enabled in a proxy server if a proxy server is in use. Kind regards, Michael. -- Empathy fails to connect to Yahoo https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585165 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
