Proxy authentication problems (I have no proxy)

fogus · 03-07-2009, 01:14 AM

Hello,

I get the following message when trying to pull from the news sources:

Code:

I do not wish to use any proxy servers, but calibre seems to WANT to use a proxy. Is there a way to disable this proxy server want? I'd rather that calibre just use the windows firewall client (the ISA tunnel)

I have tried re-installing several times (with different configurations for my windows firewall client). I cannot seem to figure out how calibre stores the information regarding my subscriptions between installs. Is that somewhere in the registry?

Perhaps if there were just some way that the proxy requirement could be disabled or configured.

Thanks

on windows calibre gets its proy setting from the registry
'Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Int ernet Settings

Call me stupid, but I can't find what I think I should be looking for.

The only key of interest that I found was

...\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\"ProxyByPass"
It is currently a 1. Do I set it to zero?

None of my other applications (Firefox, IE, pidgin) attempt to use a proxy without being configured to do so. I don't understand where the proxy information is or how to change it. I have access to my ISA gateway but I have verified that none of the settings suggest that there should be an automatic proxy setting. Is there a way to totally uninstall calibre (including all of the local settings)?

BTW, great program. Great effort. It's clean, smooth, fast and in python (my favourite language).

Cheers,

Code:

calibre-debug -c "import winreg;settings = winreg.OpenKey(winreg.HKEY_CURRENT_USER, 'Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Internet Settings'); print winreg.QueryValueEx(settings, "ProxyEnable")[0]"

fogus · 03-07-2009, 02:31 AM

Hmm, a man of few words :P

I ran your code. Problem persists. (I got a black window for about 200ms; I couldn't read it)

Did you want the output? How can I give that to you?

It still says "Using proxies: {'ftp': 'gateway:8080', 'http': 'gateway:8080'}"

I ran the code in the 'run' box in Windows. Was that right?

kovidgoyal · 03-07-2009, 02:33 AM

Run cmd.exe and then run the code in the resulting terminal

fogus · 03-07-2009, 12:14 PM

Ok, it says the following:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

S:\>calibre-debug -c "import winreg;settings = winreg.OpenKey(winreg.HKEY_CURREN

kovidgoyal · 03-07-2009, 12:34 PM

And I'm guessing you looked at the specified registry key manually?

fogus · 03-07-2009, 07:31 PM

Sorry, dude. I'm having a hard time understanding you. What do you mean, "you looked at the specified registry key manually"? How would I look at it automatically? What's the difference between looking at something manually and automatically?

I ran the code in the command prompt. What key do I look at manually? There is no "QueryValueEx" key in my registry. Is that the key I'm supposed to look at? Is there another one?

kovidgoyal · 03-07-2009, 07:39 PM

Under HKEY_CURRENT_USER look for the key Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Inte rnet Settings

fogus · 03-07-2009, 08:27 PM

Yes, I see it.

kovidgoyal · 03-07-2009, 09:18 PM

That's where calibre gets its settings from

IIRC a key named, somewhat unimaginatively, ProxyServer

kovidgoyal · 03-07-2009, 11:03 PM

And I just remembered, another place it could be getting the setting from is an environment variable named http_proxy

fogus Member Posts: 19 Karma: 10 Join Date: Mar 2009 Device: Sony PRS-505	Call me stupid, but I can't find what I think I should be looking for. The only key of interest that I found was ...\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\"ProxyByPass" It is currently a 1. Do I set it to zero? None of my other applications (Firefox, IE, pidgin) attempt to use a proxy without being configured to do so. I don't understand where the proxy information is or how to change it. I have access to my ISA gateway but I have verified that none of the settings suggest that there should be an automatic proxy setting. Is there a way to totally uninstall calibre (including all of the local settings)? BTW, great program. Great effort. It's clean, smooth, fast and in python (my favourite language). Cheers,

fogus Member Posts: 19 Karma: 10 Join Date: Mar 2009 Device: Sony PRS-505	Hmm, a man of few words :P I ran your code. Problem persists. (I got a black window for about 200ms; I couldn't read it) Did you want the output? How can I give that to you? It still says "Using proxies: {'ftp': 'gateway:8080', 'http': 'gateway:8080'}" I ran the code in the 'run' box in Windows. Was that right? Last edited by fogus; 03-07-2009 at 02:32 AM.

fogus Member Posts: 19 Karma: 10 Join Date: Mar 2009 Device: Sony PRS-505	Sorry, dude. I'm having a hard time understanding you. What do you mean, "you looked at the specified registry key manually"? How would I look at it automatically? What's the difference between looking at something manually and automatically? I ran the code in the command prompt. What key do I look at manually? There is no "QueryValueEx" key in my registry. Is that the key I'm supposed to look at? Is there another one?
