That smells more like a tcp windows issue than an HTTP/1.1 issue.. If on Linux try the following workaround: echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling this works around quite many broken firewalls not coping well with window scaling, but significantly scarifies performance over long distance connections (measured in RTT * bandwidth, not miles)...
Here: http://lwn.net/Articles/92727/ I found this workaround: ---snip--- With kernel 2.6.17.13 or higher, you can also do: THEIR_IP=1.2.3.4 MY_GATEWAY=5.6.7.8 ip route add $THEIR_IP/32 via $MY_GATEWAY window 65535 which only limits window scaling for that destination without interfering with your other connections ---end snip--- Any thoughts? Better or worse than the other?
For what it's worth I had no problem loading the start page using Firefox via Squid-2.
What OS are you running squid-2 over? Thanks, Chris
