hello squiders .... I'm running a squid proxy and are having problems with movies played from http://svtplay.se/ ... it takes about 10 minutes to load a movie... most other sites that plays clips and movis are quick to load...
"other sites" are usually run by other people, from other parts of the world. Differences are normal. All this shows is that it is unlikely to be Squids fault.
I have tried to use this option with NO chache
how? by disabling the disk cache? by disabling local storage? by bypassing squid? by testing from alternative network locations?
but it does not seem to have any efect... another option was to maby bypass the proxy just for this site but i did not whant to do this realy.... If anyone have a clue what I could do to fix this it would be very helpfull .... //Martin
redbot.org reports quite a large number of problems on that website. The major ones seem to be ETag headers not changing when the object they refer to changes. And requests for ranges of some binary objects returning portions of completely different objects.
There also seems to be quite a lot of fluctuation in the server clock values (about 20 minutes randomly changing server clock time, over an actual 5 second load time). This woud have a bad affect on any streaming video which is time sensitive.
This site shows strong signs of being servered by a cluster which has broken NTP and HTTP ETag content synchronisation.
I only could test the public pagees. The videos are locked behind some unfriendly Swedish-only policy.
