Smoothwall, IE+TLS1.1 and the unblock controls page

[powdarrmonkey]

For ages, I've wanted the 'Add domain/url to category' controls on the block page but they haven't worked (connection problems). I just discovered, by accident, that it's because TLS1.1/1.2 weren't enabled in IE.

 

The bypass control works now, however, after logging in to add to a category IE whinges about an HTTP 400 (Bad Request) error. Anyone else found an answer to this?

Have you made sure that you are excluding the smoothie itself from proxying?

[powdarrmonkey]

Yes, and to make doubly sure I used the .pac file it generates too.

 

On closer investigation, it adds the domain to the right category, but then follows it with a 400 - instead of a redirect maybe?

Have you tried clearing cookies? They can cause 400 errors

PS: Help for HTTP 400 'Bad Request' errors is my source re cookies & 400s.

Thanks, but I've already ruled out cookies.

Tricky one this. I'd suggest letting support have a crack at it!
