Windows 8 Store and Update fail in https-Proxy mode

Hi,

I am trying to get my Windows 8 pc running in https-proxy mode, but the Store and the Updates fail.

When I try to install any tool or update from the store I get the following error in WebFiltering.

2013:04:24-20:16:00 firewall httpproxy[4267]: id="0003" severity="info" sys="SecureWeb" sub="http" request="0x14eaf128" function="tunnel_handler_recv_data" file="tunnel.c" line="45" message="epoll_fill_buffer: Connection reset by peer" 


2013:04:24-20:16:00 firewall httpproxy[4267]: id="0002" severity="info" sys="SecureWeb" sub="http" name="web request blocked" action="block" method="CONNECT" srcip="192.168.*.*" dstip="157.56.194.72" user="" statuscode="500" cached="0" profile="REF_HttProProxyFilte (Proxy Filter)" filteraction="REF_DefaultHTTPCFFBlockAction (Default content filter block action)" size="8479" request="0x14eaf128" url="services.apps.microsoft.com/" exceptions="av,auth,content,url,ssl,certcheck,certdate,mime,cache,fileextension" error="Connection reset by peer" 

2013:04:24-20:16:01 firewall httpproxy[4267]: id="0003" severity="info" sys="SecureWeb" sub="http" request="0x14f09df0" function="tunnel_handler_recv_data" file="tunnel.c" line="45" message="epoll_fill_buffer: Connection reset by peer" 

2013:04:24-20:16:01 firewall httpproxy[4267]: id="0002" severity="info" sys="SecureWeb" sub="http" name="web request blocked" action="block" method="CONNECT" srcip="192.168.*.*" dstip="157.56.194.72" user="" statuscode="500" cached="0" profile="REF_HttProProxyFilte (Proxy Filter)" filteraction="REF_DefaultHTTPCFFBlockAction (Default content filter block action)" size="9307" request="0x14f09df0" url="lic.apps.microsoft.com/" exceptions="av,auth,content,url,ssl,certcheck,certdate,mime,cache,fileextension" error="Connection reset by peer" 


As you can see I have set for test-procedure all functions in "Skip" mode, but nothing works.

This is my WebFilter-Setup
Microsoft Windows 8 Store [Allows Windows Store Installations without side effects.] 

 
Skipping: Authentication / Caching / Antivirus / Extension blocking / MIME type blocking / URL Filter / Content Removal / SSL scanning / Certificate Trust Check / Certificate Date Check 
 
Matching these URLs: 
^https?://([A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.)?services\.apps\.microsoft\.com/
^https?://157\.56\.194\.72
^https?://([A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.)?lic\.apps\.microsoft\.com/ 


Is this a "known issue"??? [:S] I would like to get the Updates / Store-Updates and the Store running in proxy-mode.

  • statuscode="500" [...] exceptions="av [...] ,ssl, [...] error="Connection reset by peer"

    The two exceptions that might have worked (av & ssl) didn't help.  The only thing you can do is skip the proxy for this.  In "Transparent" mode, that's the 'Skip transparent mode destination hosts/nets' list on the 'Advanced' tab.

  • Well I tried what you said, but that didn't work either. 

    What I see is, that the system is able to contact the Internet-sites as normal. It also is capable to run the Store. You can browse through the Store to see what tools/apps are available. But when you actualy want to installl an app /programm you'll get a Block-Error. 
    The same with Updates for Windows 8. The Update tool gives also an error that Updates could not being checked. 

    Looks like there is something wierd going on.
  • Well I tried what you said, but that didn't work either. 

    If you still see related activity in the Web Filtering log file, then the accesses aren't skipping.  If you are scanning SSL, the Microsoft site apparently is detecting the man-in-the-middle and refusing to respond.

    Utilisation de serveurs proxy authentifiés avec Windows 8

    That worked perfectly to fix the same issue with the windows 10 store
  • Cool!  That's the first time I've seen an article translated automatically and then improved by the Community Translation Framework.

    I think that, instead of "Pour résoudre ces problèmes, ils se rapportent à l'utilisation d'applications du Windows Store,"one should change it to "Pour résoudre ces problèmes, autant qu'ils se rapportent à l'utilisation d'applications du Windows Store" n'est-ce pas?

  • This was very useful , I was having similar issues when trying to download/update applications from my Windows Phone. I had to add one additional entry:
