I've been pulling my hair out over this one for some time now and followed-up all the appropriate search queries and FAQs etc. With no luck. I now humbly ask help from the assembled crowd. Platform: Zope 2.7.1b1 on Redhat 7.3/i386 "Zope/(unreleased version, python 2.3.3, linux2) ZServer/1.1 Plone/2.0.3" I'm setting up a new ZOPE based site, the world can see it fine and I can manage it as normal. So far so good. If I try the same from inside my company network, all seems to go to plan, until I call /manage_workspace against any object, then I get no response returned. The bizarre thing is I can call /manage_main against anything, no problem. ONLY /manage_workspace fails. The only difference between world access and internal access that I can figure out is our company squid proxy. This is not being used as a local HTTP accelerator for ZOPE but as a simple mandatory company-wide proxy for all web traffic.
From grepping the squid.log it seems that squid forwards the request to the ZOPE server fine but never receives or acknowledges the ZOPE reply.
Just as a comparison, using an Apache front-end to ZOPE with ProxyPass works fine (dunno why), but I can't pursue this as a solution as it cannot be seen externally to the company, again dunno why :-( Can anyone shed light on this please, any similar experiences? -- Eddie
