Hi. According to this page: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Portal/Splash Active Mode is supposed to prevent random software like anti-viruses from resetting the session when using ext_session_acl. Is this only true for software that uses TCP port 80, but NOT HTTP? I have configured active mode, and it works, but if my anti-virus checks online for updates (which it does all the time), the session gets reset and the browser never shows the splash page. The antivirus appears to use HTTP, since the log file shows this: TCP_DENIED/302 354 GET http://download353.avast.com/iavs5x/prod-ais.vpx - HIER_NONE/- text/html Which also indicates that it's what received the splash page. Is this expected behaviour? Is there a way to make sure that only a browser can reset the session and ignore other software that may use the HTTP protocol?
The expected behaviour is that everything making HTTP requests from the box gets DENIED/302 splash page until you click on some link presented in that page. thus manually requestign the "login" URL.
