Proxy settings not released
Hello:
I had set up a web proxy for my Debian installation and have
tried to undo the setup. But the proxy, a Mac OSX machine,
is still used by the Debian installation, in this manner:
I have Apache2 installed and have set up a localhost index
page. It has a link to the Apache server on the Mac OSX
machine. The link goes like this:
<a href='http://192.168.1.4/content'>(Mac OSX server)</a>
The persistent problem is that the local href http://192.168.1.4/content
is getting rewritten to http://127.0.0.1/content and the request
fails. This happens in every browser I have installed on the Debian
system: Konqueror, Galeon, Iceweasel, Epiphany.
( I do web design and development and want to test the content in as
many
browsers as I can have access to)
I have both Gnome and KDE installed and have tried to re
move the proxy settings in the preferences of each browser
and the general preferences and settings for proxy in both
Gnome and KDE but the problem persists.
If I write the address directiy into the location field of the
browser, the same thing happens, the address is rewritten
to the localhost address (127.0.0.1).
When I go to the Mac OSX machine and have it follow
the link to the Debian server, it loads the Debian index
page. When I follow the link in the Debian index page
back to the OSX server the link address is also rewritten
(by the OSX browser).
But since it is a valid address and file it works.
That is why it appears that proxy settings in the Debian
system have not been released.
Can anyone direct me to some setting that will solve this
problem?
Thanks in advance
Jeff K
