To solve a big problem with uploading while using F-Secure, there is probably a solution.
However we need to know to which web site BOINC is requesting to upload.
Where can I find in a file in the BOINC directories this information?
Is it the main project site?

Thanks for the help.

There are two ways of finding out this information. No, it probably isn't the project's main site - Einstein uploads some results to Germany, although the project servers are in America, and CPDN uploads different files from the same task to different countries, to spread the massive data load.

You can:

1) Inspect the contents of client_state.xml (use NotePad, or a simple text viewer like that. Don't use anything which might lock the file and prevent BOINC updating it while you search). Most projects use a file_upload_handler like

<url>http://cpdn-upload2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cgi-bin/file_upload_handler</url>
<url>http://cpdn-restarts.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cgi-bin/file_upload_handler</url>
<url>http://srv1.cpdn.psu.edu/cpdn_cgi/file_upload_handler</url>

(that's three for one project)

<url>http://einstein-dl.aei.uni-hannover.de/cgi-bin/file_upload_handler</url>

2) Alternatively, you can enable <http_debug> logging in cc_config.xml, and read what sites BOINC tries to reach in the message/event log, when you re-try an upload.

Thank you Richard for your quick replay, I will search there.

Einstein@home however doesn't have any problems with me and F-Secure neither does Milkyway.

It is Rosetta and LHC which work fine but won't upload unless I remove F-Secure completely of remove Online Safety. F-Secure is very helpfull to me to get the problem fixed, perhaps some url's need on a safe-list.

LHC (the classic v1.0, not the rather specialised Test4Theory) seems to use

<url>http://lhcathomeclassic.cern.ch/sixtrack_cgi/file_upload_handler</url>

I don't run Rosetta, but the techniques should still work.

I found all information Richard, Thanks.
F-Secure is working on it.
