RE: [squid-users] Odd IE 6 Squid SSL Error

Thank You,

I know it is not a Squid issue. I was just wondering if anyone in this community had come across this issue. I was looking for a solution. Do you know of a fixed wininet.dll? Location it can be downloaded from?

Thank you

Hello,

This is not a Squid problem. Check your access log. You will see an
initial https request, then the client switches to regular http
requests. It is a problem (bug) in Microsoft's wininet.dll.

A wininet.dll version like "6.0.2800.1405" on Windows 2000 sp4 does not
work correctly. A wininet.dll version like "6.0.3790.118" on Windows
20003 does work correctly. The fact that it is a system library that
contains the problem, any application making a https call is affected.

Please see Microsoft for a fixed version of wininet.dll.

Tim
