I've just made a test listing suggestion to Business/Wholesale_Trade/General_Merchandise using the suggest URL link at the top of its page and it worked fine for me. Is that the method you were using?
I suggest that you try again and, if there are still problems, report them in this thread with a description of exactly what you were doing and the exact error message.
Proxy error messages when trying to contact an editor are not uncommon, though the message does usually get through. AOL systems engineers are aware of the problem.

Receiving same proxy error
Hello,
I'm trying to submit to Business: Business Services: Consulting and am receiving the error:
Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request POST /cgi-bin/add.cgi.
Reason: Error reading from remote server
Can you help please?
Thank you!

I have been getting the same message for over a month I thought the directory was just full or somthing. If I have follow the directions and yes I clicked the submit URL at the top of the screen I fill out the form and enter the password but I havnt got though. I dont know much about this stuff but maybe it let you because you are and editor or admin that you were successful? Does it matter what type of internet connection or ip you use?

I am using Mozilla firefox on windows vista. I have no problems with anything when I surf the web only when I click submit at the bottom of the form then it gives me the proxy error message. Could it have anything to do with my IP or web host? My IP is a local Wireless broadband company called Cricket my web host is Freewebs.com my DNS name servers are set with them for my site. I cant find anything on their support forum about this problem and nobody else is complaining about it on there. So it is either DMOZ that has the problem or the web host in my opinion.
Cant submit too:
FireFox 2, got next page (raw)
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>502 Proxy Error</title>
</head><body>

Your error is different from the ones mentioned in this thread -- you were trying to send an email to an editor, not suggest your site. As has been mentioned a few times here, we're aware of that issue with the editor feedback form. In most cases, your message will have made it through OK despite the error message.

Ok I finally got through. I used my computer at my work and it worked fine. It must be our computers or IP servers. If you know what might be stopping us on our computers please let us know. Thanks

Try from a different computer please - preferably in a different location.
