Hi,
One of my users is getting an error message when accessing a page through Squid but the page loads fine in Firefox, IE & Netscape directly.
The headers that the HTTP server is returning look odd to me.
First, the Date: field has two dates on the same line, comma separated.
Same thing for the Server line. Microsoft-IIS/5.0, Results CASI Net
The Connection: header also has close, close
And finally, there are two distinct HTTP header lines. The first is the first line in the data section of the IP packet, HTTP/1.x 200 OK. The second comes after the close, the 6th line, and is: HTTP/1.1: 200 OK.
Any ideas why Squid is detecting an error while browsers render the page?
If it has a malformed Date, Server and Connection header, then it is very very broken, and likely makes no sense to squid. It probably makes no sense to your browser either, but it likely just ignores it. You're really asking "why does something which is obviously broken not work?" ;-)
Can you tell us what the URL is?
Have you specified the relaxed_header_parser directive in your squid.conf, and if so, what is it set to? There is an explanation about this in your squid.conf.
What version of squid are you using? (squid -v)
I know, heaps of questions, but this is coming up as a daily question on this mailing list...
