Hello, trying to the ESI feature of the current CVS version of squid-3 I have the following configuration: browser --> squid --> zope-server(with virtual hosting) One page (index.html) in the Zope-Server looks this way: <html><body> <esi:include src="http://theServer.com/include.html"/> </body></html> (Response-Headers: Surrogate-Control: content="ESI/1.0" ) The page include.html ist just a little bit of text and the following response header: Surrogate-Control: max-age=3600, content="ESI/1.0" Zope is running on port 8080, while squid runs on port 80 (same host; complete configuration attached below). For squid there is a redirector running, making all requests of the form http://theServer.com/foobar become http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/theServer.com:80/VirtualHostRoot/foobar When getting http://theServer.com/index.html from a browser I get an error message. After setting some debug_options I see the following in the cache_log: WARNING: Forwarding loop detected for: GET /VirtualHostBase/http/theServer.com:80/VirtualHostRoot/include.html HTTP/1.0 Host: theServer.com User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050920 Firefox/1.0.7 Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5 Accept-Language: en,en-us;q=0.7,de;q=0.3 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Cookie: __ac_name="admin" Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46c2VjcmV0 Via: 1.0 devel.office.mydomain.de (squid/3.0-PRE3-CVS) Surrogate-Capability: office="Surrogate/1.0 ESI/1.0" X-Forwarded-For: unknown Cache-Control: max-age=259200 Connection: keep-alive This made sense to me, because the "esi:include"-URL again points to squid, and when receiving this request squid may already "know" about this request... ??? So I've changed the "esi:include" directive in index.html: <esi:include src="http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/theServer.com:80/VirtualHostRoot/include.html"/> so that the ESI processor now fetches the fragment directly from the Zope server. This works, but has the effect, that the fragment never gets cached. What's wrong with my configuration? There is another fact, that may be related to this (or maybe not): With the second solution (which does word, but without caching) I still see the response header "Surrogate-Control: content="ESI/1.0"" on the client-side (browser)! Shouldn't squid remove this header when ESI-processing the page?
