[squid-users] Strange HTTP Header causing error message from squid to user
Hi, One of my users is getting an error message when accessing a page through Squid but the page loads fine in Firefox, IE Netscape directly. The headers that the HTTP server is returning look odd to me. First, the Date: field has two dates on the same line, comma separated. Same thing for the Server line. Microsoft-IIS/5.0, Results CASI Net The Connection: header also has close, close And finally, there are two distinct HTTP header lines. The first is the first line in the data section of the IP packet, HTTP/1.x 200 OK. The second comes after the close, the 6th line, and is: HTTP/1.1: 200 OK. Any ideas why Squid is detecting an error while browsers render the page? Thanks -- Mark signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

It probably makes no sense to your browser either, but it likely just ignores it. You're really asking why does something which is obviously broken not work? ;-) Afraid of that. I guess I knew I was asking whether that was malformed or not. Can you tell us what the URL is? I would have included it in the original post, but needed to check on the answer to that question myself. http://survey2.opinionresearch.com/surveys/1417506start.htm? _s=34732ENG-410215 I used both ethereal and liveheaders in firefox to determine what was in the http headers. Have you specified the relaxed_header_parser directive in your squid.conf, and if so, what is it set to? There is an explanation about this in your squid.conf. I have not. There is not such directive in my squid.conf. What version of squid are you using? (squid -v) 2.5 stable8, it's an rpm package for Fedora Core 3. squid-2.5.STABLE8-1.FC3.1 I know, heaps of questions, but this is coming up as a daily question on this mailing list... Reuben Thanks mark
