Hi, I've noticed a very bad problem with my squid installation... it seems to work without errors (nothing wrong in the log files), but when I load some sites as www.repubblica.it my browser shows a blank page and it says "waiting for oas.repubblica.it".. after several seconds (more than 20 secs, which means eternity in this case), the site shows up immediately (almost everything is loaded, something still loads after a while but the most important parts of the page are loaded).. I've looked at the access.log file and the first line I can see after the initial long delay is: 1288281355.044 63243 10.1.0.1 TCP_MISS/503 4996 GET http://oas.repubblica.it/RealMedia/ads/adstream_mjx.ads/repubblica.it/nz/home/1004754881@Position3,Position2,Top3,Top2,Top1,Middle1,TopLeft,Right1,Middle2,Left,Left1,Left2,Top,x61,x62,x63,x41,x42,x43,x44,x45,x46,Position1 - DIRECT/194.244.107.100 text/html So there are problems with the oas.repubblica.it links... how can I avoid squid getting stuck on some links? Can I tell him to load more than a link in parallel? Can I set a timeout? Can you do a test with the same site and tell me which is the result of your test? If I load the same page without going through squid, it is loaded quickly without any delay.. These are the options I've set in /etc/squid/squid.conf (I've experienced the same with both squid and squid3 proxies): acl manager proto cache_object acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/32 ::1 acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 0.0.0.0/32 ::1 acl localnet src 10.0.0.0/8 # RFC1918 possible internal network acl SSL_ports port 443 acl Safe_ports port 80 # http acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp acl Safe_ports port 443 # https acl Safe_ports port 70 # gopher acl Safe_ports port 210 # wais acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535 # unregistered ports acl Safe_ports port 280 # http-mgmt acl Safe_ports port 488 # gss-http acl Safe_ports port 591 # filemaker acl Safe_ports port 777 # multiling http acl CONNECT method CONNECT http_access allow manager localhost localnet http_access deny manager http_access deny !Safe_ports http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports http_access allow localnet http_access allow localhost http_access deny all http_port 3128 hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ? cache_mem 32 MB # --> (I can not give squid a bigger amount of memory, but I don't think it is a problem) maximum_object_size_in_memory 10 MB cache_dir aufs /var/spool/squid3 100 16 256 coredump_dir /var/spool/squid3 refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 refresh_pattern -i (/cgi-bin/|\?) 0 0% 0 refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 dns_nameservers 127.0.0.1 forwarded_for transparent # (I've also tried with "on" instead of "transparent") A workaround is to add two lines like the following ones before "http_access allow localnet": acl REP_REAL url_regex -i oas\.repubblica\.it/RealMedia http_access deny REP_REAL but I don't like it very much.... I'd like to understand why squid isn't able to load that link.. BTW, I have "Squid Cache version 2.7.STABLE9" on Ubuntu 10.10 Thank you very much! -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Â Gianni Costanzi (gianni.costanzi@xxxxxxxxx) |Â Â ÂÂ http://utenti.lycos.it/giannicostanzi/ | |Â My Fotoblog: |ÂÂÂÂÂÂ http://giannicostanzi.fotoblog.it --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
