Re: [SQU] Squid and FTP

Ok. Lets try to debug this a little more. There obviously is some kind
of problem, either in Squid or the parent.

First request a failing file from Squid

client ftp://server/path/to/failing/file >output.squid
[when/if it hangs, restart Squid with "kill -9 `cat
/usr/local/squid/log/squid.pid`"]

Then attempt doing the same thing to the MS-proxy parent

client -h your.parent.proxy -p 8080 ftp://server/path/to/failing/file
>output.msproxy

[assuming the parent listens on port 8080]

If you cannot find any problems in either of the cases, please make sure
no other clients are using Squid and run

   squid -k debug

and try to download a file that hangs

   when hung, run "squid -k debug" again before aborting the download.

then "gzip -9" your cache.log and send it to squid-bugs@ircache.net

Note: it is quite important that no other people are using the Squid
proxy while debug logging is enabled. The debug log will be quite large,
and hard to follow if there is many concurrent clients...
