All,
My user population is having frequent problems fetching PDFs through
our squid proxy, and I think I've narrowed down the issue, though I'm
not 100% certain of it.
I see two deny messages from our Sidewinder firewall, that are
associated with the URLs regarding request headers for the PDFs:
  "Request denied with request header Unless-Modified-Since."
and
  "Request denied with request header Translate."
Is there a way to cause squid to ignore these request headers from the
browsers,
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/header_access/
 or to replace them with something benign?
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/header_replace/
 Is it reasonable
to do so, or will that just cause further issues?
There, I can't help. Â I'd suggest contacting support for the Firewall,
and
get the problem solved (or at least identified) there.
Any help and thoughts appreciated.

Unfortunately, adding the two directives:
header_access Unless-Modified-Since deny all
header_access Translate deny all
Generates the following errors at start and stop of squid:
2009/05/13 11:42:57| cache_cf.cc(346) squid.conf:40 unrecognized:
'header_access'
2009/05/13 11:42:57| cache_cf.cc(346) squid.conf:41 unrecognized:
'header_access
Under FreeBSD, a 'make config' shows that SQUID_STRICT_HTTP is
deselected. From my reading of the make file, this means that the
directive --disable-http-violations is not in effect.
Will I have to recompile with --enable-http-violations to be able to
use these directives?
Kurt
Yes.
Amos
I came to that conclusion on my own, and did recompile with that
option ('make --enable-http-violations' then 'make install', and it
went without error) but it didn't help, as I'm getting the same error
message.
I'm sure I'm missing something, but need a clue...
Kurt
Just done a quick check of the code and it looks like those two
particular headers are not in the 'standard' set known to squid.
From the descriptions I can find about the header I thunk we should be
adding it as known and allowing some security controls over it.
Patch coming. What release of Squid are you using?
