Unite - Fixing Proxy problems

Fixing Proxy problems

By Navjot Pawera. Tuesday, 14. July 2009, 09:48:45

If you've tried to use Opera Unite over the past few days, you might have noticed that your friends aren't able to access your services. You might have just seen a yellow triangle on the Opera Unite icon in the bottom left side of the browser.

This has been largely due to our Unite proxy acting funny. One of the main purposes of the Opera Unite Alpha launch was to test our systems in the real world and make sure we go out with a stable system if this is to become a regular browser feature. Sure enough, there are things to fix and bugs to iron out based on all the feedback you guys have been sending in. So hang on, we're working to fix this ASAP

Also, we've seen some new services being uploaded to http://unite.opera.com/services/. Do check them out.

TIP: You can get the latest uploaded services at http://unite.opera.com/services/new/

Btw, to those who are heading out for summer vacations, Have Fun

Oh, please, please, please!

I so hate having to restart Opera Unite that often.

Good luck on this!

Looking forward to the day when all issues with unite are fixed. Today unite is barely usable due to these problems, but given that it's still in early stages, it's quite understandable. I wonder if unite will delay the release of opera 10. Anyway, Keep up the good work and thanks for the new services!

Nice to hear something official on this.

It would be nice to have some sort of Opera Unite Proxy status page so we can easily tell if the problem is on our end or on the opera proxy end.

I Spent quite awhile trying to figure out if I had done something wrong and such a status page would have saved me from wasting my time.

Good job though, just wish I could show it off to my friends.

So that's whyit didn't work lately, hmmm.

Oh well, I guess it's a matter of time you guys can find the best way to get things working again

. I think Opera unite is such a good thing, I'd really like to use it to share with my friends!! I wish you the best, indeed!!

Greetings!

You saw it and blogged about before I had a chance to point it out. You're quicker than I am! Way to go guys!

Still not working...

"Opera Unite error: The Opera Unite proxy server is currently not reachable. The network may be down."

P.S.: I use HTTP\HTTPS SquidNT Proxy with NTLM authorization.

@23W: It should be sorted now. Only problem is Opera is the only browser that can display those pages properly (probably because Opera is best!

I have developed an Opera Unite service, which Im testing now for bugs. it seems unite is not ready for prime time or even beta testing. Do you think i should suspend development for now, until unite gets more stable. My unite service will be used by 10,000 daily users from a website I own which will be a nightmare if unite doesn't work as promised. When unite was launched i thought it was at least ready for beta testing thats why i started developing the service.

Now i think i should stop developing any serious app with unite till further notice. What do you think?

Good God we get it Beta Alpha Experimental etc but what on earth is the point for something that is just not functional at all,apart from pissing off all and sundry
