Re: Squid going through another forward proxy

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Amos,

For the following cache_peer:

> cache_peer forward-proxy.example.com parent 3128 0 name=C

Would squid do the proper HTTP CONNECT before forwarding the request there ?

Thanks,
Hector

Then you have to trust that the admin in charge of it set it up right.

You have now stopped using HTTP and started using some strange
URL-embeded protocol.

An HTTP proxy cannot help you there. You require a proxy that
understands and acts on the URL-embeded protocol messages.

It is possible to extend Squid with URL-rewrite helpers that can
translate it into different HTTP URL for passing to (C). BUT, there is
no guarantee of what origin (C) will use to fetch that resource. You
have to *trust* that (C) uses the origin best suited to any request
that it is given, according to the criteria its own admin has set for
"best".
