We have a Squid 3.4 server configured as a Reverse Proxy on Oracle Linux 6. It is working correctly for most sites, those which are HTTP all the way through to the peer, Those which are HTTPS all the way through to the peer and those which have SSL offloaded at the external interface on Squid. We have however come across a problem when using a proprietary Content Management System. In this CMS, you set each page to show how it should be served i.e. HTTP or HTTPS. If traffic comes into the CMS with HTTP and it's set for HTTPS, the CMS tries to re-write/force the URL so that it comes back with https:// at the start. The problem is that, this appears to come through Squid as an indefinite loop and the page fails. When connecting a Browser directly to the CMS server, and using the same site and page settings, it works, but when going through squid, it doesn't. Now, I'm willing to believe that the CMS is affecting the HTTP traffic so that it is not strict and that Squid then fails as it it doesn't know how to handle it, but I thought I would post here and see if anyone could help. Our config is the following (with obfuscation); http_port 10.x.x.42:80 accel defaultsite=server_2.bl.co.uk https_port 10.x.x.42:443 accel cert=/usr/newrprgate/CertAuth/www/s.crt key=/usr/newrprgate/CertAuth/www/southtynesidehomes_key.pem cipher=ALL:!aNULL:!ADH:!eNULL:!LOW:!EXP:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM options=NO_SSLv2,NO_SSLv3 defaultsite=server_2.bl.co.uk cache_peer 10.x.x.202 parent 80 0 no-query originserver name=server_2_http cache_peer 10.x.x.202 parent 443 0 no-query originserver login=PASS connection-auth=on ssl sslcert=/usr/newrprgate/CertAuth/www/peer_keys/www.pem sslversion=1 sslflags=DONT_VERIFY_PEER front-end-https name=server_2_https acl sites_server_2 dstdomain www.s.org.uk cache_peer_access server_2_http allow sites_server_2 cache_peer_access server_2_https allow sites_server_2 cache_peer_access server_2_http deny all cache_peer_access server_2_https deny all I have switched full logging on and the output is shown below;
