Package: polipo Version: 1.0.4+58-1 Severity: important File: /etc/network/if-down.d/01polipo
Regularly when I have a network outage -- such as when I unplug my laptop to take it to a meeting -- polipo switches to "offline mode", but when I plug the network back in, it doesn't go back into "online mode". This is also the case for long outages on my wifi interface, such as when I restart my wireless router. Today I noticed that this is caused by Debian-specific "cleverness" that polipo installs by default into /etc/network/if-{up,down}.d/; I can only assume these scripts have not been properly tested with my kind of network use cases. Example symptom: $ curl -sLI http://fnord.com/ | head -1 HTTP/1.1 502 Disconnected operation and object not in cache $ env -u http_proxy curl -sLI http://fnord.com/ | head -1 HTTP/1.1 200 OK This is my /etc/network/interfaces: auto lo iface lo inet loopback allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp auto ath0 iface ath0 inet manual wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf wpa-roam-default-iface ath0-default iface ath0-default inet dhcp My /etc/polipo/options has not been touched: # See the /usr/share/doc/polipo/README.Debian file for details on this file method any #method static #method manual #method dhcp #method bootp #method ppp #method wvdial NetworkManager is *not* installed.
