Wingate scrambles pages after some time

Jul 30 08 10:58 am

It's a wierd problem. Wingate will be working fine and then all of a sudden it will start rendering pages wrong, and show wierd code mixed with the web pages. If I stop/start the service, it will be fixed.

Any clue to why it garbles pages after a few weeks or so?

Thanks guys!

What you could try is if using proxy or intercepts disable HTTP 1.1 for proxy only in the browser to see if it changes the behaviour.

I tried disabling http 1.1 and it still does it. It did it this morning again. Took 8 days to do it again. I attached a screenshot of what ebay looks like. I also noticed that POP3 Collection stops downloading mail, but it still runs. I can manually start pop3 downloading, and it goes by really fast, because it's not actually getting mail.

I stopped/started the wingate service, and all is well again.

I wish I had a clue. Any ideas guys?

I'm running wingate on:
windows 2000 sp4
1gb ram
80gb wd hd
amd xp2600

looks like the CSS wasn't loaded. Being ebay, the whole look of the sites is probably css driven so if the CSS fails to load, the site will not look pretty.

Are their any authentication failures in WinGate's system messages for css files?

Also, do you have caching enabled. Can you try disabling caching for testing purposes?
