Hi, I have compiled Squid 2.6PRE3 on Windows XP SP2 with the latest Cygwin and with SSL enabled. It works with the http port but won't work with the https port. Attached is my squid.conf file and the log file. Some one please help me to give a dirty fix so as I can run it some how. I also compile the 3.0 PRE4. The Squid won't start because of the known bug of the maximum number of file descritor problem. If you know there is a patch to let me run any ways that will be great! Thanks! Fulan Peng. Here is my squid.conf and some text cut from the log. http_port 127.0.0.1:80 vhost vport cache_peer zyzg.org.ru parent 80 0 originserver https_port 443 cert=c:\squid\etc\cert.pem key=c:\squid\etc\key.pem cache_peer breakevilaxis.org parent 80 0 originserver acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \? cache deny QUERY acl apache rep_header Server ^Apache broken_vary_encoding allow apache access_log c:/squid/var/logs/access.log squid debug_options ALL,9 refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 acl manager proto cache_object acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255 acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 acl SSL_ports port 443 563 acl Safe_ports port 80 # http acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp acl Safe_ports port 443 563 # https, snews acl Safe_ports port 70 # gopher acl Safe_ports port 210 # wais acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535 # unregistered ports acl Safe_ports port 280 # http-mgmt acl Safe_ports port 488 # gss-http acl Safe_ports port 591 # filemaker acl Safe_ports port 777 # multiling http acl CONNECT method CONNECT http_access allow manager localhost http_access deny manager # Deny requests to unknown ports http_access deny !Safe_ports # Deny CONNECT to other than SSL ports http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports http_access allow all http_reply_access allow all icp_access allow all coredump_dir c:/squid/var/cache ========================================== 2006/08/27 18:59:42| storeClientCopy3: Copying from memory 2006/08/27 18:59:42| memCopy: offset 0: size 4096 2006/08/27 18:59:42| storeSwapOut: lowest_offset = 0 2006/08/27 18:59:42| cbdataValid: 0x1023c128 2006/08/27 18:59:42| clientSendMoreHeaderData: error:invalid-request, 1760 bytes 2006/08/27 18:59:42| clientSendMoreHeaderData: FD 10 'error:invalid-request', out.offset=0 2006/08/27 18:59:42| creating rep: 0x1023e510 2006/08/27 18:59:42| init-ing hdr: 0x1023e554 owner: 2 2006/08/27 18:59:42| 0x1023e554 lookup for 38 2006/08/27 18:59:42| 0x1023e554 lookup for 9 2006/08/27 18:59:42| 0x1023e554 lookup for 38 2006/08/27 18:59:42| 0x1023e554 lookup for 9 2006/08/27 18:59:42| 0x1023e554 lookup for 22 2006/08/27 18:59:42| cleaning hdr: 0x1023e554 owner: 2 2006/08/27 18:59:42| init-ing hdr: 0x1023e554 owner: 2 2006/08/27 18:59:42| 0x1023e554 lookup for 38 2006/08/27 18:59:42| 0x1023e554 lookup for 9 2006/08/27 18:59:42| 0x1023e554 lookup for 38 2006/08/27 18:59:42| 0x1023e554 lookup for 9 2006/08/27 18:59:42| 0x1023e554 lookup for 22 2006/08/27 18:59:42| parsing hdr: (0x1023e554) Server: squid/2.6.STABLE3 Date: Sun, 27 Aug 2006 22:59:42 GMT Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 1547 Expires: Sun, 27 Aug 2006 22:59:42 GMT X-Squid-Error: ERR_INVALID_REQ 0
