Unable to login while using http proxy in Chrome

Recommended Posts

I use an http proxy in Chrome for most of my browsing and noticed that I was unable to log into the server recently. I was able to find this log which appears to show an error (possibly by design).

I am able to log into the server from IE that does not use a proxy without issues.

I am also able to log into the server if I use a VPN in Chrome.

I do see that I am creating a valid token on the server when I attempt to log in but it just kicks me out after that.

Is there anything I can do to allow access while using the proxy?

make sure it preserves http request headers. it looks it's stripping some off and so the server isn't finding what it's expecting

Thank you.

 

I use SwitchySharp and did not see any options like that. I suspect that the information is being stripped for anonymity but your comment helped.

 

I ended up putting an exception in for my IP and that fixed it for now.

 

Was a change made to the server to require the header information or was it always there and my provider is now stripping the data off?
