RE: Minor Problems

System: Linux- Mandrake (MacMillan Edition); Squid 2.2 Stable 4; ACL lists
set for internal network only; Firewalling with IP Chains with no outside
access to inside, but all from inside to outside. (This could be the problem
if the outside web site is attempting to insert a cookie). When a form is
completed and the Submit or Continue button is clicked, the submission is
timed out on the outside server. Question is: Why does the submission of
the form page time out? Is there a way to allow it to occur through the
Squid proxy, and how do I do that?

"the system does let them submit through the Proxy Server" is extremely
vague. We need details.

You have to write this yourself. I think linux has inittab, so you
could probably write:

sq:2345:once:/usr/local/squid/bin/squid -s
