RE: [squid-users] Trouble getting to www.priceline.com

Here is the error message I get in the browser.

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.priceline.com/

The following error was encountered:

Connection Failed
The system returned:

    (111) Connection refused

The remote host or network may be down. Please try the request again.

Anything in cache.log?

What error is given to the user? and no, by error I do not mean the
generic say-nothing-but-bullshit Internet Explorer error message, I
mean the real error message which says Squid at the bottom. If you
get the IE error message reconfigure your brovser to show the real
error messages before you attempt to ever use that browser again or
you risk getting totally brainwashed and dumbfounded from your
application/os provider threating you as a child who might be scared
by the real facts on what it going on.

Have you read the Squid FAQ, especially the section relating to the OS
you are using? If your proxy is running on Linux-2.4 then it is very
likely the answer is found there.

Henrik
