Problems with the forums and Opera and Arora?

[adamk]

I've found, pretty consistently, that I can no longer browse these forums in opera and arora. For example, if I go to http://forums.freebsd.org/search.php?do=getnew it redirects to http://forums.freebsd.org/search.php?searchid=160998 at the moment. The page that loads is completely blank. If I copy and paste the URL into Firefox, it works. This is happening for me on the three machines that I regularly use.

Has anyone else seen this?

try deleting opera cache and cookies

my results were from firefox3.5

No luck with clearing the cache and cookies. I just determined that it is somehow related to my squid proxy. If I disable the proxy, it works fine in firefox, opera, and arora. If I enable the proxy on all three browsers, it works fine in firefox, but not opera or arora. So I'm guessing this is not related to the forum at all, and only partially related to the browser, but more of an issue with squid.

It must be so. Everything works perfectly well here with both Opera and Seamonkey.
It's still really weird though. Why would these browsers behave so differently just because of a proxy?

Try playing with the advanced settings of the proxy server, like (en|dis)abling pipelining and changing the maximum concurrent connections. Also inspect the HTTP headers (in Opera Tools > Advanced > Developer Tools > Network) for caching related headers (Cache-Control, Expires, Pragma, etc.).
