I had an older machine that was still running 3.0 STABLE 12, that was functioning as a forward and reverse proxy using port 80 for both. And a reverse proxy for one site on Port 443, the machine sits in a DMZ the forward proxy only directs about to web sites for machines connected through WAN connections, and functions as a reverse proxy for those machines when connecting to a couple internal sites. This machine had a hardware failure last night and I was forced to put in place the newer machine that had already had the software installed but wasn't configured or tested yet. The problem I am having is that this machine running squid 3.1.9 functions fine as both forward and reverse for http websites, and is working for the reverse HTTPS site, though I had to use the sslproxy_cert_error acl method to bypass a cert error, even though the cert is valid, it's not accepting it. That's a minor problem though, as its functioning. The more pressing problem is that HTTPS forward proxy is not working, the logs show an error every time stating a connect method was received on an accelerator port. 2010/11/01 12:26:43| clientProcessRequest: Invalid Request 2010/11/01 12:26:44| WARNING: CONNECT method received on http Accelerator port 80 2010/11/01 12:26:44| WARNING: for request: CONNECT armmf.adobe.com:443 HTTP/1.0 User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Host: armmf.adobe.com Content-Length: 0 Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive Pragma: no-cache Is using the same port for both forward of http & https not allowed while using it for a reverse proxy anymore? I tried adding the new allow-direct option to my http_port line with no change in behavior. Current line is: http_port 10.40.1.254:80 accel vhost allow-direct Anyone have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong here?
