Hi, Are any of your clients using Outlook, Outlook Express, or Entourage ? There is probably a bug in their HTTP implementation, when a client receives an email with image links, it takes forever (60 to 120 seconds, incidently) unless you include the following configuration line in squid.conf : persistent_request_timeout 1 seconds Taking the same link and loading it in a web browser (IE, Firefox, Safari) is OK... Hope that helps, please report to the list. Best, François On Mon, 5 May 2008 18:59:05 +0800 Adrian Chadd <adrian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Thats interesting.
