      Hi,

      I installed the following snapshot:

      2.0-RC3 (i386)
      built on Fri Jul 8 19:24:31 EDT 2011

      I have set pfSense as a transparent firewall.

      Firmware updagrade, works perfectly via proxy, but the system cannot receive list of available package.

      $pkg_info (/usr/local/www/pkg_mgr.php) returns an empty array.

      thanks

        Show how you have configured the proxies?

                same problem, I do not receive the list of packages working under proxy.

                The updates work fine instead.

                  I do not have a proxy to test so some more feedback is needed.
                  packet traces with full packet content would be nice.

                    I had a look at the code…

                    I think the problem is authentification method..our proxy support NTLM auth..

                    system firmware upgrade, use php CURL to download latest version ...while the package manager use

                    php's pear XML-RPC class to receive the package list, and this class use fsockopen.

                      Check to see if any upstream security appliances are blocking.  I had the same issue and noticed that my SA was blocking 'WEB-PHP xmlrpc.php post attempt' when attempting to connect to 69.64.6.21 for list of Available Packages.  The Firmware updates were working fine but the Available Packages were being blocked.
