Test Failed: Method Not Allowed #159

betsythefc · 2018-05-18T17:46:24Z

On my podcast app (AntennaPod) setting the HTTP proxy to go through Orbot, I get the message "Test failed: Method Not Allowed". I've confirmed by testing with another proxy that the issue is with Orbot.

What else will you need to diagnose this?

Tor responds with HTTP/1.0 405 Method Not Allowed.

So, I looked into it a bit closer. Turns out that Tor's newly built-in HTTP proxy only supports the use of the HTTP CONNECT method (AKA tunneling) but not the use of regular HTTP requests. The previously used proxy provider, Polipo, supported it.

Regular HTTP VS Tunneling Illustrated using Curl

Using curl with --proxy (regular HTTP request) fails

$ curl -v --proxy http://localhost:8228 http://check.torproject.org

… but using tunneling (HTTP CONNECT) works …

Seeing the same issue when proxying Chromium through Orbot. So this is definitely and issue that will grow as were unable to use webview (chromium) proxying together with the new version. This worked fine in 16.0.1-BETA-1.

n8fr8 · 2018-05-29T14:00:26Z

We will fix this (ideally by getting Tor's HTTP proxy to add the capability), but... you really should be using Orfox for browsing.

betsythefc · 2018-05-29T18:15:53Z

I use orbot mostly for browsing, but also route my RSS and Podcast feeds through it.

@n8fr8

We will fix this (ideally by getting Tor's HTTP proxy to add the capability), but... you really should be using Orfox for browsing.

For sure, it's a legacy thing that we'd like to maintain though.

And thank you for fixing it. I'm sure a lot of other projects that uses Orbot will appreciate this.

n8fr8 · 2018-05-30T13:08:20Z

It would be good to have a list of popular open-source apps that people like to proxy through Orbot. Then perhaps we can add NetCipher/SOCKS proxying support to them ourselves.

miguelmarco · 2018-09-09T21:01:35Z

Hi, I am finding this problem too with ZcashPannel (https://github.com/miguelmarco/ZcashPannel), which is definitely an app intended to be used through orbot (using netcipher).

It used to work ok before, but after an orbot update, I am getting this kind of error too.

eighthave · 2019-02-20T21:37:38Z

I'm seeing this with F-Droid as well,using Orbot 16.0.5-RC-2-tor-0.3.4.9. Tor Browser for Android was working fine at the same time. It works when I revert to Orbot 15.5.1-RC-2-multi-SDK23.

Is this related at all? https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/26470
