Re: [SQU] Allow Z39.50 protocol on port 210

That's the issue then. Squid is an http proxy. If the connection is NOT
through the web browser, then Squid is not what's blocking or granting
access.

Someone else has already said it... open up a hole on your firewall for this
protocal/port.

the client accessing the database through an external program...

Is the client accessing the database through the web browser or an external
program?
