I seem to be unable to access any videos on
video.nationalgeographic.com when behind my transparent proxy. Im
running squid version 2.5.STABLE14 and yes I know it is outdated, but
I also use smartfilter from secure computing, and the version I am
using isnt compatible with any newer versions of squid. When
accessing the site, I get a tcp_miss in my access log 1196093274.044
38 10.40.20.20 TCP_REFRESH_HIT/200 40922 GET

The error message on nationalgeographic's webpage just says: Were
sorry but the video player is taking a long time to load. Please come
back later or wait for it to load. Then nothing happens. Is anyone
else experiencing any issues or have any ideas?
thanks,
