Problems with proxy and {:error, :closed}

[atanych]

Hi Guys,

I caught weird behavior when I worked behind proxy.

Server 1 (behind proxy):
OS: Redhat.
Erlang/OTP 20 [erts-9.1] [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [ds:8:8:10] [async-threads:10] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false]

options = [proxy: "http://xxx", proxy_auth: {"login", "pwd"}, ssl: [versions: [:'tlsv1.2']]]
:hackney.get("https://google.com", [], [], options)

url = "https://media-direct.cdn.viber.com/download_photo?dlid=Gsag08bVZ_qFBt5G_ssCKUKFN9MJsAodr-kKgBVxln9MbHaKkeJe5WHjkqILcgzfeell1-pwccBnMH3aFJwtu4F0glyNO-53pUJ8vSWbUnNxW9qVy-xY1_HO7g7Dpl5bcUvbaA&fltp=jpg&imsz=0000"
:hackney.get(url, [], [], options)

When I fetch image behind proxy, I receive {:error, :closed}

Server 2 (without proxy):
OS Centos.
Erlang/OTP 20 [erts-9.1.5] [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [ds:8:8:10] [async-threads:10] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false]

Make the same things and receive correct result.

I made the same things with HTTPoison. The similar response.

Could you help me to find solution or workaround for this issue?

Thanks!

I figured out issue.

Was two problems:

• old elixir and erlang packages
• proxy is not used when follow_redirect is true

[benoitc]

yeah i should make sure we use the proxy on follow redirect. I will have a look tomorrow as it’s late herr already. Thanks for the report anyway!

[atanych]

yeah, thanks. It is related issue: #273
