well, I went thru 2 reverse proxy guides and 5 installations and at least on this steps I get the URL request right here are the steps that worked the best: We are looking to use squid to handle *.jpg request. We are using Squid Proxy server 2.5 stable 3 for windows NT/2000/= =3D XP Here is part of my squid.conf file http_port 80 httpd_accel_host 10.10.10.10 httpd_accel_port 80 httpd_accel_single_host on httpd_accel_with_proxy on httpd_accel_uses_host_header off I have squid running on 127.0.0.1 I m added the following extra changes Cache_mem 300mb Negative_ttl 15 min Also created a http_access allow all and still get a page with a saying While trying to retrieve the URL: http://10.10.10.10/test.jpg The following error was encountered: Access Denied. Access control configuration prevents your request from being all= =3D owed at this time. Please contact your service provider if yo= u fe=3D el this is incorrect.
