problem with RELOAD via squid proxy

'chris' — Mon, 05 Apr 2004 17:24:34 GMT

hi

I have cisco vpn client version 4.0
( vpnclient-linux-4.0.Rel-k9 )
installed on linux server ( SuSE 8.2 ).
On the same linux server is the proxy
squid-2.5.STABLE3-98 installed.

WIN2000 sp4 clients use the VPN connection
with Internet Explorer 5.5 or IE 6 via squid proxy.
So I don't have to install any VPN clients
on the windows workstations.

The problem is to RELOAD some frame application websites with the following reload code:
..............................................................................................................................

..............................................................................................................................

after reload web page contents are empty !

If I try to install the cisco vpn client
directly on the WIN2000 workstation, it works very well.
All frame websites were reloaded correctly.

Knows someone what's wrong or what should I change at squid.conf ?

kind regards
chris

Hi,

your IE seems to have problem in sending refresh requests.

upgrade your IE 5.5 to IE 6. your problem will be solved.

Hi,

Press SHIFT+Refresh what happens ?

edit squid.conf and put this line.

ie_refresh on

restart squid and let me know the results.

Hi Chris,

Perhaps you need upgrade to Squid-2.5.STABLE4. This is from Squid FAQ.

--------
Upgrade to Squid-2.5.STABLE4 or later to work around a Host header related bug in Cisco PIX HTTP inspection. The Cisco PIX firewall wrongly assumes the Host header can be found in the first packet of the request.
-----------

Frank.

Hi,

If you face the same problem with latest version of squid also , then avoid caching that particular site. Edit squid.conf

http_stop http://www.problemsite.com

Restart squid. If possible purge the squid cache directory once.

hi

I've tried :

http_stop http://X.X.X.X

at squid.conf and get following message after restart:

# rcsquid restart
Shutting down WWW-proxy squid 2004/04/06 13:51:14| parseConfigFile: line 3197 unrecognized: 'http_stop http://X.X.X.X' done
Starting WWW-proxy squid

And how can I exclude this webseite from
proxy caching at squid.conf ?

I've tried to delete all squid cache files as well and still doesn't work.

I'll try to update squid, but can't find
rpm packet squid-2.5.STABLE4 for SuSE 8.2

kind regards
chris

hi U.SivaKumar

with cache_stoplist X.X.X.X
I get still errors:

# rcsquid restart
Shutting down WWW-proxy squid 2004/04/07 11:11:33| parseConfigFile: line 3218 unrecognized: 'cache_stoplist X.X.X.X'
- wait a minute ............... done
Starting WWW-proxy squid done

I will try with:

acl dest_acl dstdomain X.X.X.X
always_direct allow dest_acl

and maybe with:

reload_into_ims on
