However, it is buggy and triggers the Squid assertion failure only in specific circumstances. So it's trasaction-specific. In my use case I would definitely prefer that only a few transactions were "killed", and that the whole of the proxy service would keep working. Of course, I would still need to identify these cases and fix them, but in the meantime I would not get a general crash. On the other hand a general failure forces me to look into this issue with greater celerity. ;-) Thanks, Vieri _______________________________________________ squid-users mailing list squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-users
