Re: [squid-users] http 1.1 thru proxies

Your options were:

I dont know why the erroring is occuring.
Basically:
IE 5 connected to the netsscape proxy with http 1.1 on works all the time.
IE 5 connected to the netscape proxy with http 1.0 sometimes fails on asp
pages
IE 5 connected to squid with either http setting fails

I dont have a realationship where its easy to check settings/talk to the
people managing the upstream proxy, and I havent been able to find much
netscape proxy related information so far.
