RE: [squid-users] Problem with Squid and

Stefan,

        I would love an answer to this to as well, since I experience the same
issue here myself. I do have some additional information to add to this
piece, plus an idea as to why it does what it does.

        Checking in my logs, it appears that IE doesn't send the username and
most likely doesn't send the password along with the initial connection
to the squid proxy server.

        However, once refresh has been hit, this information is passed to the
squid proxy and the end-user is treated to the web-site they were heading
towards.

        That is what I have gathered from my logs... The rest of this is
speculation based on recent article I read...

        The article explains how IE sends information to web servers which
explains how IE sometimes renders pages BLAZINGLY fast. It only runs
"fast" when connecting to MS IIS servers because of some non-standard and
from what I understand bad practice method of communicating with web
servers.

        IE 6.x and probably some earlier versions, apparently begin their
webserver access in a different way, which can speed up some
communications.

        Here is a link to the original article, I only had time to scan the
piece, but here is the link to the blog that it was posted from...

 http://grotto11.com/blog/?+1039831658

        Anyway, it is possible, that due to this method of communication,
Internet Explorer does what it is doing at your site, my site and many
other sites.

Subject: [squid-users] Problem with Squid and Internet Explorer 6 SP1

Dear all,

i$B!-(Jm using squid 2.4 Stable 6 for our users internet access trough
our
firewall. I use NCSA_Auth for user authentication.
Since we have clients that are using IE6 SP1 these users,

 - open the browser
 - request an url
 - they get the authentication prompt
 - after they type in ther username and password the browser tries to get
the
page and it failed (page can not be displayed)
 - if they reload the site is loading and shown ok

The problem is only at the firs accessed webpage after the
authentication.

Did anyone have a solution for this?

best regards,

stefan
