An example is Apple.com's movie trailers. It would not surprise me if one of the larger banks (or something like eBay) is using akamai to serve images for their secure pages. If you want to block this request, something like the following should work (assuming you have the CONNECT method acl still in your squid.conf): acl akamai dst_domain .akamai.net http_access deny CONNECT akamai This will block all secure requests to akamai. Be ready for calls if you implement this. Chris
