RE: [squid-users] Webmail and .asp website problems with IE

Hi Javier,
  thanks for the reply.
 
I should have explained a little more...
 
I have added the following rules to try and avoid this problem:
 
acl badsites dstdomain all the sites with problems
no_cache deny badsites
always_direct badsites
 
But the problem still occurs!
I think it's something to do with the way that Internet Explorer generates it's HTTP requests - Opera 6.x works with no problem...
 
This proxy also uses a TCP port redirect for transparency, but the problem occurs whether IE is set to use the proxy, or is forced to use the Proxy transparently!
 
Thanks,
   Aaron

        Try to not cache asp files. For instance:
        
        acl ASP urlpath_regex .asp$
        no_cache deny ASP
