No problem - you should see my deutsch (and I actually learned it at
school!!)

Do you have examples of POSTs that work and POSTs that don't? Is it
predictable or does it seem random? Have you turned on some debugging
(now I did ask a couple of days ago where to find the definitive list of
debug levels...)?

If there is some bug with POST we need to identify it ASAP, so that
others don't get bitten. OTOH, if it is a configuration problem, we
need to get that sorted out as well as other might fall into the same
trap.

Just as a pointer to this being perhaps a configuration issue, I haven't
had any reports from my users of difficulties with POSTing. I only have
the first cache as squid and am still running an (ancient) Netscrape
proxy in the DMZ. What I was going to do was put in a test squid DMZ
proxy, but I'm working on other (squidGuard-related) issues first.
