Quoting Al Cripps <csal@xxxxxxxx>:
Adrian,
I installed squid-2.6.STABLE9 (build as of 1/24/07) and tested tonight.
I found NO difference in the Apple update process for this version of
squid as opposed to sqauid 2.6.STABLE1, i.e., it failed by hanging in
retrieving the Apple update information. As previously reported, on a
MAC running 10.4.x that has not had a recent update, the update fails.
If you do an Apple update while squid is not in the loop, then put
squid in the loop, the update process works fine...but obviously there
are no files to download in this case. This tends to imply that
perhaps and as suggested by Henrik in another post that uncompressing
of some file causes the failure????? Any suggestions?
thanks,
al cripps

I have the same problem -- No solution, however.-- I have two

However for squid 2.6.STABLE1, I can NOT do Apple updates with
squid being transparent proxy. Again for OS 10.4.x If I just
take the squid 2.6 out of the loop via a change to iptables rule,
then everything works fine (without proxy). With 2.6 in place, it
fells every time.

And could you please re-try it with Squid-2.6.STABLE9? I've heard at least
one report of transparent interception working fine with MacOS/X updates
(and I run 10.4 at home and didn't notice any trouble whilst doing
transparent interception and software updates.)

This is really starting to bother me. I have been running the same
version of Squid since December. No problems with any of my apples
updating. The problems started just a few weeks ago. I called apple
tech support, the tech said "if os 10.3 works than 10.4 should". He
elevated me to the next level of support. That was 2 weeks ago. No
calls back. I get the feeling that apple changed something on their
end that has caused this not to work with Squid. Im going to look at
my firewall and see if I can do something to let apple.com traffic to
go straight through and not get redirected to my proxy server. Yes, I
too can take squid out of loop, run updates then software updates
works, for a couple of days. Sometimes their are updates to download
also. Is there any other testing we could do?
