I recently build two proxy servers with squid3.0
(3.0.STABLE8-3+lenny3) replacing old ones which used version 2.5.
We are experiencing a few problems and would appreciate some enlightenment
concerning these issues:
1. Users complaining that sometimes incomplete files are received when
they download and interruptions when they watch streaming contents.
ShoutCAST media streams? Support for that was added in 3.1. WHich is
either build-yourself or use the packages from Debian experimental
repositories.
2. From time to time the store gets corrupted and then squid keep on
rebuilding the cache and resetting itself.
Aye, "STABLE8" was not very stable as it turned out. I recommend using
the release in backports.org. If you go to 3.1 for the stream problem
that should cover this issue as well.
3. Whether this is related, I don't know but I have seen messages on
the internet linking the reset of the cache and this type of error:
clientParseRequestMethod: Unsupported method in request '^»eí¹®m*¬hoÇ'ÒøÊÖ'
It's not an error. Someone is pushing garbage into Squid. Squid will log
them (the IP is usually a line or two below that message in older Squid)
then disconnect them.
4. I see also the following in the logs which I do not understand and
feel a bit uncomfortable about:

Someone is using the manager interface to your Squid.
They are doing so from localhost, so I assume its you. Perhapse using
squidclient or cachemgr.cgi.
