1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : error 417 at work (Message 37545) Posted 20 Apr 2011 by Muriel Post: it is an university and they usually dont use a proxy or any restriction mechanism at all here, so this strange proxy thing is completely new to me, and there is definitely no restriction at all to run any program on these computers.

2) Message boards : BOINC Manager : error 417 at work (Message 37543) Posted 20 Apr 2011 by Muriel Post: hello all, im desperately trying to get my boinc running on my mac at work. for accessing the internet i have to set a proxy via a PAC file downloadable (hopefully also for you and not only within this network) at http://www.vu-wien.ac.at/proxy.pac ive tryed several configuration methods and yesterday it seemed to work as it downloaded some work units from seti and rosetta, today it got stuck again with error 417 so i cant report or download work units. is there a way to get it to run smoothly? i created a cc_config.xml which i copied in every folder in the boinc app package, it contains the following <cc_config> <options> <http_1_0>1</http_1_0> <proxy_info> <use_http_proxy>0|1</use_http_proxy> [ <http_server_name></proxy.vu-wien.ac.at> ] [ <http_server_port>80</3128> ] </proxy_info> </options> </cc_config> in addition to this i set the http proxy to proxy.vu-wien.ac.at port 3128 with no authentication as it is also not visible in the PAC file thank you for your help in this special case..
