It's been 5 years since this was originally posted, but I am currently in the process of upgrading from Squid 4.13 to 5.8, and have encountered the same scenario when running our integration tests to validate the existing behavior. To summarize, given the exact same configuration in both versions, making a CONNECT request for a domain that doesn't exist used to result in a 503 response with an ERR_DNS_FAIL error. In Squid 5.8 this instead results in a 500 response with an ERR_CANNOT_FORWARD error. For reference, I am using the version of Squid that is packaged in the most recent version of Amazon Linux 2023. As requested in the last email regarding this issue, I have attached verbose debug logs from squid, as well as the squid configuration file, the full output of `squid -v` and finally the output of `dig` on the non-existent domain from the same context as squid is running in: https://gist.github.com/Nevon/ee4d379877b9570cccb4f21df7382a63 Does anyone know if this is an intentional change or a bug? If it's an intentional change, what is the rationale behind the change and is it mentioned anywhere in a pull request or similar? I wasn't able to find any other references to this other than this one thread with no resolution from October 2018.
