[squid-users] Disabling error pages
Hi, I've found lots of references online (in this list's archives, other sites and the FAQ) to customising error pages in squid, but haven't yet found reference to removing error pages completely. My squid box is running transparently. In the case of any errors I'd like it to simply return no content to users, so it is not so obvious that their access is being proxied. Is this possible without editing source code? I think I saw reference to setting font color in error messages to the same as background, but I'd prefer something a little less hackish ;) Thanks R _ Catch up on all the latest celebrity gossip http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/115454061/direct/01/

You can't. Oce the request has reached the proxy the proxy must respond with someting. If it fails retreiving the requested object the polite thing is to respond with an error message explaining what happened and what the user can do to fix the peoblem. If you fo not want to be polite to the users then you MAY change the error pages to just a blank page with no visible content, but there still needs to be somr kind of response.

Just replace the error pages with a file containing just the following line: !-- %s -- Regards Henrik signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
