Hi all

I have a new WP installation and have an outgoing proxy for all HTTP
requests. I am having trouble getting themes/plugins etc ("An unexpected
error has occured..."). Below is an excerpt from the wp-config.php and
the Squid logs. As you can see in the logs, the problem is on POST ...
(please note I dont use username/password on the proxy and I tested HTTP
POST through wget and it seems to work fine). HTTP GETS work fine with
WP as well. I am pasting the Squid and WP Config and the Squid log below.

EXCERPT from SQUID.CONF

acl POST method POST

http_access allow manager localhost
http_access deny manager
http_access allow purge localhost
http_access deny purge
http_access deny !Safe_ports
http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports

http_access allow localhost
http_access allow from_samurai
http_access allow from_sweety
http_access allow from_hanuman01
http_access allow post from_hanuman01
ftp_access allow from_hanuman01

http_access deny all

WP-CONFIG:

define('WP_PROXY_HOST', '10.128.254.248');
define('WP_PROXY_PORT', '3177');
define('WP_PROXY_BYPASS_HOSTS','*.local-intranet');
