Sorry about the title for being a little bit nondescriptive but I will attempt to clarify the problem a bit below:
I'm running Intrepid on one of my boxes at home, this box access the Internet through a Clavister firewall and all is working as intended until I enable the HTTP ALG (Application Layer Gateway) feature of this firewall, which I find quite useable due to the fact it supports real-time antivirus protection and mime type verification amongst a few other things.
This makes upgrades (or any kind of download) from the repositorys fail with timeouts and I think this is due to HTTP pipelining and the lack of support for the same in the firewall.
Basically I have two questions:
Does anybody happen to know where I can read up on how the procedure works?
Is there anything I can do to change the standard way of using packages at all, basically not using the pipelining functions?
