[arch-general] Problem loading a site in midori
Hi all, I just recently decided to try midori again and I'm impressed in how much its improved in such a short amount of time. One problem I am having is loading my university's website. http://oasis.curtin.edu.au/ Looks like there is some weird kind of redirecting going on there but not sure if that is causing the problem. Loads fine in firefox (and other browser's I've tried) but not midori. There doesn't seem to be an option for midori to output any verbose or debug messages so I'm not too sure where to look for the problem. Another thing I noticed which may or may not be related, is the speed dial feature. It worked fine when I first installed midori but now it just shows a blank page exactly like my university's website. Any suggestions? ~ Ty

Any suggestions? ~ Ty I found the problem (this always happens as soon as you ask for help ;) ) I disabled my proxy (squid) and it loads fine. I decided to disable it after I noticed another website with a different problem. Getting this error: SRVE0255E: A WebGroup/Virtual Host to handle / has not been defined. SRVE0255E: A WebGroup/Virtual Host to handle www.open.edu.au:10048 has not been defined. IBM WebSphere Application Server Can anyone suggest what I need to do to squid to fix this? ~ Ty

I don't think it's a squid bug: http://git.gnome.org/cgit/libsoup/commit/?h=gnome-2-28id=d45a4b19a00c76ccbcf9b114a9185067402dc14d Thanks, mate. Disabling the proxy also fixed the speed dial thing too... I'll see if libsoup-git fixes it.
