    <p>We're using the <code>HTTPWebRequest</code> objects to make HTTP requests to our application and we're having a problem when the request requires authentication and there is a transparent proxy (Squid 3.1.10).</p> <pre><code>string url = "http://www.icode.co.uk/test/auth.php"; HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url); request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password"); HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse(); Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream(); StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream); MessageBox.Show(reader.ReadToEnd()); reader.Close(); stream.Close(); response.Close(); </code></pre> <p>Our original code used the WebClient class which exhibited the same problem.</p> <p>The first time this code runs, it displays the result correctly. When the code runs a second time, it fails on the <code>GetResponse()</code> line with:</p> <pre><code>System.Net.WebException was unhandled Message="The server committed a protocol violation. Section=ResponseStatusLine" Source="System" StackTrace: at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() at Dummy.DummyForm.button1_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) in H:\Trial\Dummy\DummyForm.cs:line 42 at ... </code></pre> <p>On Windows 7, restarting the process causes it to recover and work once, but Server 2003 requires a full reboot.</p> <p>Looking at the <a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2931731/StackOverflow/10984264/failed.cap" rel="nofollow">network capture</a>, two requests are identical to start with, the initial unauthenticated request is sent and the server replies, but the failing requests sends the 2nd authenticated request in the middle of the initial reply as if it's ignoring the <code>Content-Length</code> header (which is correct). It then receives the rest of the initial reply and fails with the protocol error.</p> <p><img src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2931731/StackOverflow/10984264/failed.png" alt="Wireshark capture"></p> <p>It does seem odd that the client (<code>HTTPWebRequest</code>) doesn't close the connection cleanly though.</p> <p>When the proxy is not in use (non port 80 or internal traffic) the requests all work as expected. When there is no authentication, it also works as it only makes the single request.</p> <p>I've already reduced the problem code to the minimum and reproduced it with the MSDN sample, but does anyone know if this is a known issue or a problem in our (.NET or Squid) configuration?</p>

    1. CONot sure if this is where the issue lies, but are you making sure to close your StreamReader when you are done?

    2. COThanks for adding the screenshot. Did you strip Authorization information out of the first GET in it, or did it just not include any?

    3. COI've removed my answer, as it is clear that it does not apply.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
