Hi, I'm still trying to resolve the issues of accessing the Jenkins site through the proxy. Our IT department has been looking at the proxies and have found nothing wrong with them. All other websites work perfectly well.
Yesterday I investigated the issue further, and it seems that the requests are randomly being sent either to the proper server or to the Nexus server. I've even received the Maven/Nexus server front page when going to http://jenkins-ci.org/, where half of the CSS and image files where coming from different servers. This is evident from the server response headers, see: http://sampo.kapsi.fi/tmp/screenshot-jenkins-ci-org.png Similarly when I go to http://ci.jenkins-ci.org/ half of the requests go to the Jenkins server, half go to the Nexus server: http://sampo.kapsi.fi/tmp/screenshot-ci-jenkins-ci-org.png It seems that all of maven.jenkins-ci.org, jenkins-ci.org and ci.jenkins-ci.org are using the same IP 63.246.20.93. For some reason some of the requests through the proxy are being passed to the wrong backend server. Does anyone have any idea why this could be happening, and why only through the proxy? Who maintains the site, and could they look at what is going wrong? I can try to help debug the issue as best I can. I did find a workaround for the Jenkins setup, which is to point the Jenkins update URL directly to a mirror site instead of the main site. However this is still causing pain when trying to do other Jenkins related tasks. And it seems that we're not the only ones with problems using the site through a proxy: http://jenkins.361315.n4.nabble.com/Jenkins-download-page-seems-to-be-down-td3520292.html Best regards, Sampo N.
