java web proxy 4.0.2, routing and OPTIONS HTTP command

Hi.

I'm trying Java web proxy 4.0.2 on a Win2003 Server and on a Red Hat Linux 3.0.

I need to route http, ftp and https traffic to another proxy (Aladdin eSafe) to filter pages (blocked sites, antivirus, malicious code, etc).

Well, in Set Routing Preferences -> http -> Route Through: Another Proxy, I added my eSafeIP:8080 (eSafe listening port).

Java Web Proxy runs well, but sometimes (it seems an asyncronous process), it throws an http OPTIONS command to eSafe proxy.

I can see this row in "view error log" options on Java web proxy: "OPTIONS http://eSafeIP:8080, check-http-server reports: HTTP7750: server eSafeIP:8080 online".

eSafe receives 1500-2000 calls (http://eSafeIP:8080) in 10 seconds for each OPTIONS command !!!!

This amount of http requests makes my eSafe very slow.

Any suggestions about how to trim or to solve this problem? I've got the same result on Win2003 and Linux.

Thank you in advance.

Bye

G.

Webproxy checks for the presence of gateways every 30 seconds,

unfortunately it is not configurable in this release.

not sure what you mean by this -

:eSafe receives 1500-2000 calls (http://eSafeIP:8080) in 10 seconds for each OPTIONS command !!!!

can you explain? (the proxy should generate one options request every 30 seconds. not more than that.)

rahul.nair,I solved the problem.There were too much "actors" on the same port on my eSafe proxy that caused a loop inside the machine...So the the webproxy was not problem.Thanx again.ByeG.
