[Qemu-devel] User-net proxy problem

[Jean-Michel POURE]

Dear Friends,

There seems to be a problem of integrity with user-mode networking.

- Host :  Debian SID with 2.6.6 kernel
- Guest : Debian SID with 2.6.6 kernel installed from
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sid_d-i/i386/20040615/sarge-i386-netinst.iso
 
with linux26 prompt.
- Qemu was compiled from CVS head today.

The problem is as follows:

- When the host is configured with tun networking and Qemu is started in 
normal networking mode, the Debian packages can be fetched on the Guest and 
installed correctly. Everything works fine.

- On the converse, when Qemu is started with -user-net proxy, the downloaded 
packages are broken and do not unpack well with the following error:

"Invalid compressed data-lenght error"
