I started having issues today connecting to forum.dlang.org from the proxy server we use at work (I work at HP). I've never had this problem before today. I can connect if I use a 3rd party proxy server (such as https://hide.me/en/proxy). I captured a wireshark trace and I'm just not getting any response from the initial HTTP request. I get the ACK from the request but never get any response. I've been trying it all day and it hasn't worked.
I first tried using different proxy servers and it seems that all the HP proxy servers aren't working. So, my best guess is that the forum.dlang.org server might be blocking or limiting packets from ip addresses it gets too many requests from. We have a variety of proxies we can use to connect outside our private network, I've tried three of them and they all can't connect. Here's there host names and ip addresses: 1. proxy-txn.austin.hp.com (16.85.175.70) 2. proxy.houston.hp.com (16.85.88.10) 3. web-proxy.corp.hp.com (16.85.175.150) I don't know who manages the dlang servers, but if someone sees this could you grep the logs/error logs for these ip addresses and see if they are being blocked in some way? There are alot of machines behind these ip addresses so maybe the server thinks it might be getting DOS'd from these ip addresses, when in reality, it's just alot of machines using these ip addresses as proxy connections. Thanks. P.S. I didn't post this using my regular login because I don't want to login through the 3rd party proxy server I'm connecting through.
