I am using Squid 3 as a transparent proxy on a NAT server to limit access to the Intermahweb. It's part of a Network Access Control solution, pre-registered users are stuck in a private VLAN. Squid is seeing a lot of "Bad Request Methods", that look like: squid[]: [ID 702911 daemon.notice] clientParseRequestMethod: Unsupported method in request '__*__U___OX_ ___B___&_<U____________'_____gA%__p_' Is this something trying to do HTTPS on port 80?
Looks that way. Provided port 80 is the only one you are intercepting into Squid.
Can I stop squid logging these, because I know already! We have a script locally that picks up on "unusual" entries in log files and mails them to me, I don't want telling anymore!
There is your answer, you need to adjust the script to ignore those warnings.
"Unsupported method in request .*___.*" seems like a good pattern to pick them out with.
