Could you explain a little more in detail what CONNECT request's are actually? Should I always trust these kind of connections and let them go direct if the connection has authentication against it with a possible statement of:- always_direct allow CONNECT auth I had a couple of instances yesterday when someone was trying to access an kind of echosign document which loaded up fine but then just did not go through, can you tell from the log below what has happened to the site? 1311862760.709 2021 localhost TCP_MISS/200 8591 CONNECT supplier.echosign.com:443 - DIRECT/72.3.215.121 - 1311862760.710 2094 jzs.tg.local TCP_MISS/000 8630 CONNECT supplier.echosign.com:443 jzs@TG.LOCAL FIRST_UP_PARENT/127.0.0.1 - > http_reply_access is *way* too late to be doing anything like destination > selection.
