Thanks Amos - I will try the configuration change first and look into
the new version.

 the 3.2 series.

[squid-users] Reverse Proxy + Exchange OWA issue

2011-11-04 Thread Rick Chisholm
I've read about this problem, just wondering if there were any fixes.  We
have a squid reverse proxy in from of OWA Exchange 2010.  When a client
connects through the proxy to the full/enriched OWA version there is about
a 5 minute pause before everything starts working.  After than, everything
works great. If you sign-out and back in, you are still fine, unless you
clear your cache, then you get the pause again.  The light versions of OWA
work fine.

Squid version is 2.7.9_1

3.2 does not appear to be available in the BSD ports tree at this time.

I'm not intimidated by that option, but I prefer to use ports (which is
still compiling from source FWIW) to make update management easier.  Also
this is a mission critical production box and I can't just blindly throw
new versions at it without finding out what the issue is and why a certain
solution (3.2) is the answer.
