My http/s proxy server works well with nearly every http browser and application. With boinc I see errors when attempting to get updates from Einstein.
In the boinc logs I see my attempt to mannually update the project.
Then I get errors indicating Boinc can't access the internet.
"Boinc can't access Internet - check network connection or proxy configuration"
Moments later I see other projects like SETI@home access the internet via boinc for updates.
I don't see errors in the proxy logs or firewall logs.
My proxy is the Sophos Unified Threat Managment device.
Has anyone seen this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Firewalls and proxies
)
Firewalls and proxies sometimes tinker with SSL traffic which is used to communicate with Einstein@Home but not with other projects. You could try to activate the http_debug log flag and post the log after issuing an update for Einstein@Home. The log should contain the response of the proxy. Or you need to increase the verbosity of your proxy so that you see requests.
The message that BOINC can't connect to the Internet means that it also tried to access google.com which failed.
