------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Dec 21 01:25:07 -0800 2006 ------- The check for updates does not handle a returned "407 Proxy authentication required" error correctly, but retries the request immediately. One of our users installed OpenOffice 2.1 and left the update notification switched on. As our network uses a proxy that requires authentication, the automated update was not able to contact http://update.services.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update2?, but got a 407 (proxy authentication required) HTTP error. However, OO did not cancel the request, but retried every 2-3 milliseconds!. This led to more than five million connection requests during the last 24 hours. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
