Category: Configuration Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: nodje (nodje) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Handling resources not found error, for failover Initial Comment: It'd come very handy to be able to detect Privoxy failure to find resources, so that failover can be handled, in a PAC file for instance. That is along with ID: 2519815 feature request. The point is, whatever you use Privoxy for, forwarding to SOCK or to another proxy or direct to internet, it can be one of multiple proxies in an LAN. To be able to treat it as a "potential source", to be able to manage balancing and/or failover, one has to receive a clear "failing" HTTP response when resources are not found. Since Privoxy returns a webpage, resources not found are never treated as errors. I hope my point is clear, as I'm sure my technical description of what is actually happening is pretty poor. The feature here could be a simple configuration swicth, which turns webpage response to "resource not found" on or off. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=361118&aid=3614927&group_id=11118 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing Performance Central, a new site from SourceForge and AppDynamics.
