 | When searching the eBay help system for the phrase "like new" I got this
proxy error:
============
Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /kanisa/homepage.
Reason: Error reading from remote server
=============
Does it mean there's a problem at eBay or on my end? What/where is "the
proxy server"? Could this be referring to my Linksys BEFSR41?
Thanks
Tim

This probably comes from a reverse proxy (loadbalancer, a front-end server used
to distribute requests between many servers) on the website.

Where? In a webpage, or in an error dialog from Opera?

I assume this error only pops up when you actually use a proxy server,
which you can check under 'Tools > Preferences > Network > Proxy servers'.
If it is an error page, something else is going on.

| The error was displayed not in a popup window but as an error page. I do not
have any proxy servers set up under 'Tools > Preferences > Network > Proxy
servers'. Is the string "from an upstream server" an Opera errormessage?

I can't find it in the language file, so I don't think so.
