[squid-users] RE: Windows Update Problem

I believe it is a squid problem since:

1. Send http traffic through squid and WU does not work.
2. Send http traffic direct (around the proxy) and WU does work.
3. Add:

acl windowsupdate dstdomain .windowsupdate.microsoft.com
no_cache deny windowsupdate
 
    to squid.conf and WU works fine.

Am I missing something?

Looks like the problem not coming from squid. Try Uncle Google some search
about "windows update error". I've been in the same situation lately, I just
need to tools-internet options... in ie.

After you click "Scan for Updates" the web server replies with something like (sorry I don't have the exact error in front of me) "an unknown error has occurred". The access.log and cache.log don't show anything out of the ordinary (access.log excerpt is below).
