Re: Is my proxy will still work properly if I comment lines insrc/http.c in order to use RealPlayer

What I am testing is :
A Netscape HTTP/1.0 proxy and Squid HTPP/1.0 proxy

With Netscape, I have no problem to use G2 RealPlayer clients. With Squid,
it is not working properly for some sites as imix.com.

I have investigate a few hno patch with no success.
I have sniffed the wired and passed a lot of time to understand how G2 do
send data over HTTP and compare the differences between Netscape and Squid
both between G2-client Squid and Squid imix G2 server.

I have a 503 Server unavailable error messages in my squid logs, and the
response from Squid proxy to the G2 client includes the X-Squid-Error:
ERR_ZERO_SIZE_OBJECT tag.

So I have comment out the following lines, and IT WORKS for me now.

So I am going to test the proxy with a few users for HTTP, FTP and G2 over
HTTP aswell and see how stable it is going to be ?

But I would be glad to receive more advice about what I am doing.

Thankx
