Daylight Savings Time (DST) will start in USA from the 2nd Sunday of March and end on the 1st Sunday of November. This will impact the date and time rules of the operating system and JRE.  

In the standalone version of proxy server, JRE version compatible with 2007 DST changes is bundled with the installer. However, you need to address the impact on the date and time rules of the operating system by installing the appropriate Operating System patches as explained in step 1 of the Workaround. 

For the JavaES 5 installation of proxy server, you need to install the Operating System patches and also the compatible version of JRE . Follow steps 1 and 2 of the Workaround. 

Workaround

1. Download and use the appropriate operating system patches. You can download the Solaris patches from http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-102775-1.

   For other platforms, download similar DST compatible patches from the Operating System vendor's web site.

2. For Solaris, Windows, and Linux, run proxy server with JRE 1.4.2_13. For HP-UX, run proxy server with JRE 1.4.2.12.

On Windows, uninstalling the patch does not change the Proxy Server version to the previous version number. 

Reverting the patch through Uninstaller script does not change the service description name to the previous Proxy Server version due to RenameService.exe utility limitations. Therefore, even after uninstalling the patch, the service description shows the latest Proxy version instead of the previous version number.

A URL with multibyte data (URL encoded) cannot be mapped.

Proxy server online help does not support the language zh-cn.

Starting the server in a different system encoding causes any errors returned by the system in that particular system encoding to be logged in the error log. When viewed through the Administration server, the error log might have characters in system encoding that do not display properly. 

Workaround

Change the browser encoding to match the OS locale so that the error log can be properly viewed through the administration interface. But this will be needed every time you move to other pages and then return to View Error Log again.

Proxy server's content rewriting function is inconsistent.

In a standalone installation of proxy server on HP-UX, the installation in GUI mode results in the display of corrupted Japanese characters (ID no. 6526476). If the installation is continued, it results in error while creating an instance (ID no. 6526488).  

Workaround

You can use either of the following workarounds: 

• Use the CLI mode of installation for Japanese locale on HP-UX.

• Continue the installation even with the corrupted display of characters. When the installer fails to create an instance, log in to the administration interface and create an instance.

The new instances created after upgrade will not have this problem. This problem is not there in stand-alone installation of web proxy server.
