Hi

I'm facing this same problem of Header size from many customers, but most of
them use PPPOE . For some of them wccp does not work, so they are asked to
configure the proxy in their browser. Does this cause them from being able
to browse( because many i had to bypass from wccp ).

Have been upgrading my squid as soon as you release newer versions. Now with
2.5.7 and all patches,

with request_header_max at 50 Kb. still during some periods of day i get
more than 400 messages/hour like this

Just a clip of output .....

How do i capture the trouble maker. Does this contribute to my squid running
at 99% with just 100 hits/sec on a dual Xeon3.06 with 2.5G.
