Hi Christos,
thanks for the quick reply.
I set up the combo Squid3 and c-icap and it works for most. However, I
get a couple of "ICAP protocol errors" during downloads.
The version of squid3 you are using is about 10 months old, please
upgrade to a newer version:
Okay, I upgraded to the current Debian sid sources. This is the
following Squid and it has the icap client enabled right off the shelf:
Squid Cache: Version 3.0.PRE7

'build_alias=i486-linux-gnu'
However, updating did not change the issue.

Well, unless there is really a known issue I would not like to leave the
Debian tree, since once the system is working, I tend to forget watching
for security updates.
Can anybody give me a hint on how to do better diagnosis on the problem?
Again upgrade your squid3 proxy to a newer version.
Done.
Always you can to send urls which are not working.

Also wireshark is a good tool :-)
I feared that answer. But since I do not know the ICAP protocol I do
neither know what to expect. I have a log of that access and I would
gladly send it do anybody, who knowns how to read it.
$ tcpdump -w icap-packets.dump -i lo port 1344
> About c-icap configuration please ask to the c-icap mailing list.
One of the first responses of c-icap appears to be
500 Server Error
but later I also find packets sent from c-icap containing things like
200 OK
Moved Temporarily
and so on. So if that first message is not intended, it is probably an
issue of c-icap.
Thanks for your help,
- lars.
