Hello, I request a page directly from my server and all works fine. Same request through Squid as a reverse proxy I get a timeout. Squid version is 2.7.STABLE8 running on Windows 7 64-bit. The request is pretty standard: > GET /_fti/local/viz_data_hub/_design/lucene/search?q=%28directory:%22/directory/id/urn:uuid:63e5cd29-a2c0-43b9-a8fe-df4e85579c9b%22%29&skip=0&limit=50&include_docs=true HTTP/1.1 > User-Agent: curl/7.26.0 > Host: localhost:5984 > Accept: */* My server, when requested directly, returns the following headers: < HTTP/1.1 200 OK < Vary: Accept, Accept-Encoding, User-Agent < Transfer-Encoding: chunked < Server: Jetty(8.1.14.v20131031), CouchDB/1.2.1 (Erlang OTP/R14B04) < ETag: d2efc8de394f < Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2014 22:59:28 GMT < Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8 < Cache-Control: must-revalidate This is the relevant part from Squid config, all the rest is the default: http_port 5986 accel defaultsite=couchdb cache_peer localhost parent 5984 0 no-query originserver name=couchdb_server acl couchdb_access dstdomain couchdb http_access allow couchdb_access cache_peer_access couchdb_server allow couchdb_access cache_peer_access couchdb_server deny all And this is the response from Squid: < HTTP/1.0 504 Gateway Time-out < Server: squid/2.7.STABLE8 < Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2014 23:15:25 GMT < Content-Type: text/html < Content-Length: 1223 < X-Squid-Error: ERR_READ_TIMEOUT 0 < X-Cache: MISS from bci.vizrt.internal < X-Cache-Lookup: MISS from bci.vizrt.internal:8089 < Via: 1.0 bci.vizrt.internal:8089 (squid/2.7.STABLE8) < Connection: close < <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <HTML><HEAD><META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <TITLE>ERROR: The requested URL could not be retrieved</TITLE> <STYLE type="text/css"><!--BODY{background-color:#ffffff;font-family:verdana,sans-serif}PRE{font-family:sans-serif}--></STYLE> </HEAD><BODY> <H1>ERROR</H1> <H2>The requested URL could not be retrieved</H2> <HR noshade size="1px"> <P> While trying to retrieve the URL: <A HREF="http://couchdb:5986/_fti/local/viz_data_hub/_design/lucene/search?">http://couchdb:5986/_fti/local/viz_data_hub/_design/lucene/search?</A> <P> The following error was encountered: <UL> <LI> <STRONG> Read Timeout </STRONG> </UL> <P> The system returned: <PRE><I> [No Error]</I></PRE> <P> A Timeout occurred while waiting to read data from the network.
