Hi, i am Thomas from Germany. We are using a squid 2.7.STABLE5-2.12.16.1 on a 64bit SLES11 for some years. ( I know its not up2date) It runs fine without any problems, but now we have an issue on a specific website, where a movie file is embedded. - It takes a very long time until the movie is loaded, with Microsoft Internet Explorer (tested with different versions of IE.) - When we use Mozilla Firefox the movie is loaded in seconds. When i click on the embedded movie link within internet explorer, i see in the squid realtime log that the request hangs with a "496 HEAD" message in the log and it takes more than a minute before the video starts, here is the logfile: --SQUID IE LOG------------------------------------------------ 1389176557.753 89 pc-number1 TCP_MISS/200 1978 GET http://www1.wdr.de/mediathek/video/sendungen/lokalzeit/lokalzeit-aus-duesseldorf/videovodafonehauswirdwirtschaftsministerium100-videoplayer_size-L.html - DIRECT/23.67.138.210 text/html 1389176557.845 89 pc-number1 TCP_MISS/200 496 HEAD http://www.wdr.de/themen/global/flashplayer/wsPlayer.swf - DIRECT/23.67.138.210 application/x-shockwave-flash ------------------------------------------------------------------ And now the same request in firefox, which runs like a charm: --SQUID Firefox LOG------------------------------------------- 1389176452.779 120 pc-number1 TCP_MISS/200 1978 GET http://www1.wdr.de/mediathek/video/sendungen/lokalzeit/lokalzeit-aus-duesseldorf/videovodafonehauswirdwirtschaftsministerium100-videoplayer_size-L.html - DIRECT/23.67.138.210 text/html 1389176453.099 301 pc-number1 TCP_MISS/200 201977 GET http://www.wdr.de/themen/global/flashplayer/wsPlayer.swf - DIRECT/23.67.138.210 application/x-shockwave-flash 1389176453.837 33 pc-number1 TCP_MISS/200 2015 GET http://www1.wdr.de/crossdomain.xml - DIRECT/23.67.138.210 application/xml 1389176453.890 35 pc-number1 TCP_MISS/200 1355 GET http://www1.wdr.de/mediathek/resources/flash/skin/cfg.xml - DIRECT/23.67.138.210 application/xml 1389176454.061 84 pc-number1 TCP_MISS/200 448 GET http://www1.wdr.de/mediathek/resources/flash/skin/_dc.gif - DIRECT/23.67.138.210 image/gif 1389176454.089 112 pc-number1 TCP_MISS/200 6242 GET http://www.wdr.de/themen/global/flashplayer/wsControls.swf - DIRECT/23.67.138.210 application/x-shockwave-flash 1389176454.231 254 pc-number1 TCP_MISS/200 1919 GET http://www.wdr.de/themen/global/flashplayer/loading_logo_r.swf - DIRECT/23.67.138.210 application/x-shockwave-flash 1389176454.232 112 pc-number1 TCP_MISS/200 4026 GET http://www1.wdr.de/mediathek/resources/flash/skin/play.png - DIRECT/23.67.138.210 image/png 1389176454.281 318 pc-number1 TCP_MISS/200 273476 GET http://www.wdr.de/themen/global/flashplayer/plugins/AkamaiAdvancedStreamingPlugin-v3.10-osmf2.0.swf - DIRECT/23.67.138.210 application/x-shockwave-flash ------------------------------------------------------------ Anyone an idea, what it means, that squid stops with the "HEAD" request in the logfile ?
