Hi all,
I'm running squid with authentication, and my users are running IE.
Of-course once they enable proxy in IE setting, MSN no longer works.
I read by using the dstdomain before authentication in your
squid.conf, users are able to use MSN messenger without manually
adding the username
I think I got it, I am able to connect once I added in my squid.conf
the following
acl msnmessenger url_regex -i gateway.dll
acl msnURL dstdomain .passport.com
acl msnURL dstdomain .live.com
acl msnURL dstdomain .msn.com
http_access allow msnmessenger
http_access allow msnURL
This works on my
The http_access should look like this:
http_access allow msnmessenger msnURL
The two separate lines mean that you allow all kind of connections to
the listed domains and you also allow all connections that have
gateway.dll in the url (non msnURL sites too).
For example you can browse msn.co
The main logic in a nutshell:
acl: elements are ORed (be it a single line, multiple line or file)
http_access: a single line's acl elements are ANDed and if matched, you
get a final allow or deny depending what your line says. If there is no
match, check goes to the next line.
In your case:
