Re: [squid-users] Hotmail Still

I haven't seen this problem, either transparently or with traditional
proxying (and we don't disable caching of these sites either).

It sounds like the request is timing out and then the browser
re-requests it--which then works. Do you have a firewall between Squid
and the internet?

Have you tried it without the no_cache directives? (It shouldn't make a
difference, but I'm curious.)
