In my first steps in tracking this down this problem, I found that squid stops responding after receiving a request with a huge cookie (some data modified to try preserve privacy, but the length of the data remains correct) extracted as text using Wireshark. Is this sufficient to determine what could be happening, or will it be necessary to get a debugging log?

Hmm, I have not found any "WARNING" messages in cache.log. I was not using any debug_options setting at the time.

The reassembled request from 3 TCP segments was a total of 3237 bytes, so I would expect it Squid to be able to fully read it without problems.

I will work to get a debugging log to help diagnose the situation.

Thanks,
Guy
