Hey all, We are having some problems with the POST method and authentication. The client is IE6, running squid-2.5.STABLE3 with squid-2.5-ntlmssp helper Essentially, everything seems to behaving correctly except when some users Want to post forms. This problem only seems limited to the POST method As if I allow the POST method without authentication, everything seems to Be ok. I have been informed that the following is quite normal, two denieds in quick sucession before a successful request. 1118288449.039 0 172.16.9.217 TCP_DENIED/407 1821 GET http://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/admin/JOBS_edit.jsp? - NONE/- text/html 1118288449.043 0 172.16.9.217 TCP_DENIED/407 1825 GET http://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/admin/JOBS_edit.jsp? - NONE/- text/html 1118288449.055 11 172.16.9.217 TCP_MISS/200 8982 GET http://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/admin/JOBS_edit.jsp?
