Comparing your info with my squid logs, the HEAD-req is missing in my squid-log. So I will first do a second test, to make shure. And try to disable cache in my squid. What I notice in your fiddler, there is another squid3.1.12 in-between. When you directly access the video, without your squid, this squid3.1.12 also in the path ? And, when you directly access the video, is the fiddler-trace the same, incl. HEAD ? -- View this message in context: http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/Squid-2-7-STABLE5-hangs-with-HEAD-request-in-LOG-tp4664219p4664264.html Sent from the Squid - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
