Re: [squid-users] ssl interception causes "zero byte replies" sometimes

I've started getting increasing "zero sized reply" messages in the
browser when visiting sslbump'ed sites again.
A reload in the browser usually works, but its annoying for users.

Last night I got many many of these while trying to access
https://drupal.org/user/password
In there logs there is not much:
TCP_MISS/502 4600 POST https://drupal.org/user/password -
PINNED/140.211.10.16 text/html

Are others having such issues, what is current recommendation? I'm
still running trunk from dec with the 19190-001.patch referenced
below.
