<![CDATA[Using SOCKS5 proxy, websites show error first before loading]]>I'm using Opera on a Windows tablet, and need to use a SOCKS5 proxy. I can set the proxy either using an addon (for example, "SimpleProxy") or by adding command-line switches, and it works fine on some sites, however on some other sites, for example www.google.com, these symptoms occur:

(Note: I'm using a localized version of Opera, so the text below may not be exact)

  • I type the address into the address bar and press Enter
  • The circle spins, the status popup at bottom left reads "sending request to <site>..." for a long time, maybe a minute or so
  • An error page is shown, saying "Cannot access this website, <site> is taking too long to respond", however the circle is still spinning and the status popup is still there, and it stays like this for another minute or so
  • Finally the site loads

Why does this happen? Is there something I can do to troubleshoot this behavior?

This Part of what ya say - An error page is shown, saying "Cannot access this website, <site> is taking too long to respond", however the circle is still spinning and the status popup is still there, and it stays like this for another minute or so
Finally the site loads - is usually a slooOOowWw arse proxy.. switch 'n to a fresh proxy would help.. *maybe..
