Hey Omid, If you know what domain or ip address causes and issue the first thing I can think about is bypassing the malicious traffic to allow other clients\users to reach the Internet. Depends on the client and the destination you can choose the right approach. And since squid is also being used as a http ACL enforcement tool malformed requests basically should be dropped and not bypassed automatically.

Even one ip address with less than 5 requests per second can grow squid cpu usage up to 30% We have found that this request belongs to a cheap popular satellite receiver www.starmax.co . Maybe it has been infected and becomes zombie of a btnet . Apart from the client type , my question is Shouldn't squid have a mechanism to defend this types of problems ? Isn't possible for squid to simply ignore malformed http requests ? Is there any workaround to prevent this problem ?
