Re: [squid-users] Plz help - Connection closing - why?

Hi,
    Thanks for the response Robert.I will try and
explain the setup once again :-
    All the http traffic from the browser is being
redirected to a program that reformats the url and
sends it to the proxy for further processing and in
turn conveys back the proxy's response to teh
browser.The problem that I am facing is that the
browser displays a "page not found" message even
before the program can convey the proxy's response
back to the browser.
    At the proxy end(in the cache.log), I see that the
url is getting processed and a GOT HTTP REPLY HDR
coming in from the remote web server with 200 OK ,
Connection: Close.But this data is not being sent back
to the program.I assume this is because the browser
has already closed its connection.But at the same time
I find the program is still waiting for the squid's
response - it doesn't close its connection with squid.
    As per ur suggestion , I will read the HTTP/1.0
specs.Kindly tell me if u can infer anything else as
to what and where the problem could be.
   Regards and TIA,
       Deepa
