Hello, We are using Squid as a caching proxy for different web servers, and we use redirecting rules to cache some internal services through our Squid server. For example, we have the following service: http://squidhost/service/ in which squidhost is the host Squid is running and is our public interface to internal services. And service is some apache -server at our internal network. We use Squid to redirect any requests to squidhost/service to the internal server that handles them and returns them throught the squidhost to the user. These internal apache -servers are hosted on the same machine, but on different ports. The problem is, when for some reason URL like this is passed to the external service with the terminating slash missing: http://squidhost/service/somedirectory the Squid server rewrites it as such: http://squidhost:7011/somedirectory and we cannot access this port 7011 because it is an internal server which is protected with a firewall. But when you add the terminating slash, it redirects it correctly. We are using the perl redirect writing, and have the following lines in it: print($_), next if s/(squidhost(:80|:443)?\/service/IPADDRESS:PORT/o; Where IPADDRESS is the address of our internal server and port is the port that this service is being served from. But if the url or directory does not exist at all, a normal error report is being returned. So if only the directory actually exists and the terminating / is omitted, the redirecting goes wrong. Where could the problem be? The redirecting rules in our redirect.pl? Some configuration option of Squid ? Help would be really appreciated, because I have tried to look everywhere and have found nothing. I have tried debugging the redirect.pl file but it doesn't help, the invalid request shows there but it is still rewritte -- Sakari Lehtonen sakari at ionstream piste fi +358 40 777 1528 -- Sakari Lehtonen +358407771528 sakari at ionstream dot fi -- Sakari Lehtonen +358407771528 sakari at ionstream dot fi
