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?
Depends on what the 503 is coming from. It is unclear at this stage.
Can I tell him to load more
than a link in parallel?
Squid regularly loads several hundred in parallel. Any problems with
parallel requests are in your browser or in the website server.
Can I set a timeout? Can you do a test with
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/connect_timeout
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

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..
You could try loading it through squidclient and see what happens...
squidclient -h oas.repubblica.it -j oas.repubblica.it -p 80 -v
/RealMedia ...
If that is not clear try redbot.org and/or a tcpdump of the traffic
between squid and the web server.
BTW, I have "Squid Cache version 2.7.STABLE9" on Ubuntu 10.10
Thank you very much!
