The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. The proxy server could not handle the request GET http://www.facebook.com/?q=.

Reason: Error reading from remote server

Apache Server at www.facebook.com Port 3128

Check the connection settings.

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if the "Use the system proxy settings" setting or one of the others doesn't work properly.
