[pca] 502 Proxy Errors when using pca

[Alasdair Lumsden]

Hi All,

This morning I registered for My Oracle Support, and had our Solaris 10 
support entitlement added to the account.

I'm able to download patches fine via My Oracle Support, however when 
using an updated PCA, I mostly get 502 Proxy Errors (But sometimes it 
works - on a run against 123 patches I got maybe 5 or so).

The server is on the public Internet with no firewall (only NAT, but 
nothing that would interfere with a straight TCP session). We never had 
an issue with pca prior to My Oracle Support.

This is on Solaris 10 update 7 on x86, with the latest pca.

Here's some output:

# pca -a -d

I asked someone in #solaris on IRC who uses PCA and has a My Oracle 
Support contract to try this, and they had exactly the same issue.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem could be?

Many thanks,

Alasdair
