Hello everyone.


First of all, let me begin by thanking the developer team for their hard work ... I've been using squid to improve network performance for a small network (~200 sistems) for some years.

Recently, I've upgraded to 3.1.6 (from the Gentoo portage) and I was ... 
unpleasantly surprised to discover that the
CSS used to generate errors pages (errorpage.css) contains a reference to 
'http://www.squid-cache.org/Artwork/SN.png'.

While i agree that the new error page looks better, I find it an odd choice to 
include an absolute url to an external
site. Not only is this generating additional load on the squid-cache.org site, 
but it also makes every browser that
encounters an error download this .PNG, possibly transmitting user agent and 
other identifying information.

If this topic has already beed discused, please direct me to the relevant 
thread.
If not, then I would like to heard your opinions/comments.

It has been mentioned. Please be assured we do intend or use it as a tracker.

The image provided has a long a caching time to push it out as far towards the client as possible. If working your Squid should be able to cache it on the first error and display it's cached version to all following clients.

It's pulled in via the CSS config file installed in your /etc/squid directory and fully editable to remove or replace the branding if you desire.
