I have a Squid 2.6 system that has been working perfectly for the past month. (or so I thought) I have users complaining that when they go to the video section on CNN and attempt to watch videos they occasionally get a message in the video window that says “The video system was not able to establish connectivity due to a Proxy/Firewall or network connectivity.” If they click the same link again it works. They also have complained that the video takes 3-5 seconds to start when it is almost instantaneous when not using the proxy. None of these issues are experienced when not using the proxy. Any ideas?
Try grabbing the URI using squidclient and see if its shows any unusual headers. This is usually caused by broken streaming servers trying HTTP/1.1 stuff when they should not.
It might also be CNNs cluttered pages hogging squid resources with uncachable content bottle-necking under all your users.
From here it takes 45sec to load all 124 javascript files including the 40KB front page script. The flash-video advertising adds a further 15 sec each. All their content is marked uncachable and pre-expired. That along would make squid re-fetch the lot for each client request.
