A question - has anyone seen the NSUrlErrorDomain: -1005 pop up in 10.4.5?

By mrDoc » Posted on February 27, 2006 - 7:37pm

I finally upgraded my work Mac to 10.4.5 — WHAM! I start getting these NSUrlErrorDomain: -1005 errors
popping up all over the place. The only consistency I can find is that the triggering URL is usually dynamically generated and quite long. This suggests some sort of buffer length problem but I’ve not been able to isolate
it. The error effects all modern browsers (WebKit versions). I have one old version of Explorer laying around
that doesn’t seem to suffer as much. Zapping Safari plists or extensions, and re-applying the 10.4.5 Combo patch does not solve the problem.

I’ve tried grepping through apple.developer and apple.support (the web sites and forms not some archane xml files) and have come up with zilch. I’m left with blowing away the OS tomorrow and bringing the system back up to 10.4.4. I’ve spent a lot of time developing tools for my work and I’d prefer not to have to spend the next 2-3 days rebuilding/recopying everything.

So anyone have an insight out there I may have missed???

Google says:

  • Reset Safari. Yes, even though you removed plists.
  • Try another user.
  • Turn off the computer, AirPort, switches/routers, and DSL/cable device. Wait two minutes, turn them on in reverse order, waiting for complete initialization of one before moving to the next.

Report back with results before reinstalling. Smiling

Thanks -- found the culprit - I think

CP — thanks for the empowered googling – It was one of the sites
I was blocked form —

Okay – for wierdness this is pretty good –

As I mentioned initially – this happened in everything –
Safari, Camino, FireFox, hell I dug out an old copy of Lynx and built it — same thing happened. I had a friendly talk (yes really) with our network guy — after some tricky snort runs we found that our Pix firewall was the causing the problem. There is a bug in the software that if a packet doesn’t have the appropriate checksum it will leave the channel hanging open — AND send a reset. So I would send out ACKs to the world and the firewall would hit me with a reset packet.

We used a bone headed manuver – simply switching IP numbers – sudden everything was cured. This was confirmed by visually grepping through a few thousand lines of Pix logs. Funny thing — I coulld not find any corresponding error conditions in any of the system logging functions.

So with fingers crossed — no burning the OS to the ground today.

By the way — your early april fools joke seemed to closer on target than you first gave it credit. It appears that all one needs is a decent TV card to make the mini a tivo like box. Though Front Row will need some improvements to handle the live video feed.
