[squid-users] RE: EXTERNAL: Re: [squid-users] Problem accessing a particular site through squid

I just tried it on my Ubuntu 10.04 running the std repo squid 3.0.STABLE19-1. I see the same behavior, running Google Chrome (nightly experimental build).

Interestingly, through Squid, it hangs trying to retrieve something from http://directgov.stcllctrs.com ... which is in a <noscript></noscript> block. So something is causing Chrome to think it should execute noscripts (?)

The only other thing I notice is that your certificate is invalid for SSL to the smallsteps4life.direct.gov.uk ... the server name is a wildcarded *.workingwithprofero.com. Don't think that should be affecting Squid though.

When I save the html source before/after squid, they have a huge amount of difference ... oh, interesting, the noscript isn't correct, it's &lt;noscript&gt; instead of correctly using <> chars. That explains why chrome is trying to retrieve the URL.

I dunno ... nothing jumps out at me.

That trace from the "working" squid? There is zero CSS in it. Just
JavaScript files that generate page content on the fly. Most of the
content seems to be going through HTTPS which passes straight through Squid.

The all ACL working where regular config catches only some occasional
files makes me think either those files are on a domain being blocked,
or you have regex patterns that are catching more than you are aware of.
