I've been getting reports of problems with squid and swf files. After doing some testing, I found that a link like http://my.squid.cache/directory/something.swf would work fine in Mozilla but not in Internet Explorer - IE says something about downloading in the status bar and then hangs for a long while. I researched this a bit, and found reports that this issue can be fixed on Apache by sticking "AddType application/x-shockwave-flash .swf" in the conf file. I noticed that squid/etc/mime.conf as the following line: \.swf$ application/x-shockwave-flash anthony-unknown.gif - image +download But then I read somewhere else that mime.conf only appies to ftp/gopher and other non-http traffic...so, Is there something I can do to make squid handle .swf files consistently between browsers?
