The first three http_access lines in my squid.conf file look like this: http_access allow manager localhost http_access deny manager http_access deny !Safe_ports Yet if I try and connect to http://bbc.co.uk:16825 I get a Connection Timed Out error not an Access Denied one. Isn't it the later I should be expecting to see, assuming 16825 is not listed in the Safe_ports ACL?
