Hello. I confirm update problems of version 5.0 with proxy authorization on some proxy servers.
I have 'Traffic Inspector 1.1.4' software installed on home server (OS: windows 2000 prof sp4) and there was no problems with updating where i had avast 4.6 - 4.8 installed, neither on server, nor on home workstations.
After avast 5.0 installation, build 5.0.462, there's a problem with update (program and virus database) through my proxy server. I've got a sequence of network connections which avast did, here is:
1. After pushing "update now" avast writes "initialization, please wait". There's two active connections to "program.avast.com" WITHOUT authorization with query "GET:
http://program.avast.com/api/?action=1&p_age=0&p_cpv=83886542&p_elm=0&p_lan=1049&p_lci=1049&p_let=24&p_lex=373&p_lid=ru-ru&p_lng=ru&p_lqa=0&p_lst=0&p_lsu=24&p_osv=5.0&p_pro=0&p_rcv=1&p_reh=864&p_rew=1152&p_uid=ab3d&p_vbd=462&p_vep=5&p_ves=0"; browser "htmlayout 3.2; Windows 2000;
www.terrainformatica.com )".
2. Avast writes "Loading servers.def.vpx". There's one active connection to "ll001.avast.com" ALSO WITHOUT authorization with query "GET:
http://ll001.avast.com/iavs5x/servers.def.vpx"; browser "Syncer/5.00 (ais-462;p)". Sometimes it connects to "downloadNNN.avast.com" with same method.
All three connections are waiting infinitely (till proxy server timeout), cause of attempt of non-authorized connection.
If i try to release (delete) that connections, avast starts to make new connection(s) WITH authorization parameters i've entered in avast user interface. I noticed short-time connection to "downloadNNN.avast.com" with browser "Syncer/5.00 (ais-462;p)", it's hard to write query parameter of that connection.
After last connection it writes that database was updated (no changes needed).
Is this information sufficient to localize update problem?
Can i configure avast to update it properly?
P.S. OS: Windows 2000 Prof sp4; update parameters: proxy authorization, ip 192.168.87.100 (local ip), protocol: http, authorization: plain with login/password. Http proxy worked properly with avast 4.6 - 4.8; it also works properly with any other network software.
