RE: [squid-users] Squid V2.5 and RedHat

Actually....

        They would claim this as a "Feature" as it does speed up the initial
connection to Microsoft Internet Information Servers. They use some kind
of non-standard (Really? MS being "non-standard" Who would have thought
that?) way of initializing communication between IE and IIS. It skips the
initial handshake and when the first access attempt is made by IE, IIS
starts spitting out the page, as the ACK. (Or something like that... The
article I read went into more detail then I am currently able to follow.)

        Anyway, when talking to a Squid proxy server, and everyone else's web
servers, this is why IE is slow to receive pages. (Since it then has to
start acting like a standard browser when it's initial BS communication
attempt fails.) With Squid, you get that "Page cannot be displayed
error."

Microsoft will say that it's a new feature in IE :)
