It looks like it might be fetching inconsistent versions out of the
cache, i.e. maybe at one point, ie40.asp referred to default.asp, but
now its the other way round, but whats in the cache may cause a loop!
If you use squid's "client" program, can you fetch each one
individually?

I would try to use squid's client with the PURGE method to get rid of
both of these objects. You may also want to check your
refresh_patterns to maybe prevent this reoccuring.

This appeared to start today....probably due to some change on the M$
Web site.

Running Squid 1.1.6 here...upgraded to 1.1.17 today. Same thing.

Connect to http://www.microsoft.com and squid goes crazy logging:

877376762.478 7 144.212.95.27 TCP_HIT/302 339 GET
http://www.microsoft.com/ie40.asp - NONE/- text/html
877376762.505 12 144.212.95.27 TCP_HIT/302 333 GET
http://www.microsoft.com/default.asp - NONE/- text/html
...
...

but never displaying a page. Bypassing the cache, of course, works.

Has anyone else seen this?
