Re: [squid-users] Windows update hangs

Hi,

I am facing the following problem with Windows Update ... It works
nice with squid until it has to download any file ... At this point
the windows update client sends a "HEAD" method to the site, and it
gets Denied by squid ...

I have already declared an acl for the HEAD method and allowed this
method for the windows update sites, as follows:

acl HEAD method HEAD
acl WindowsUpdateSites dstdomain .windowsupdate.com
.windowsupdate.microsoft.com .update.microsoft.com

http_access allow HEAD WindowsUpdateSites

Squid´s access log shows this:

1124403238.616 590 10.x.x.x TCP_DENIED/403 310 HEAD
http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/ndp1.1sp1-kb867460-x86_74a5b25d65a70b8ecd6a9c301a0aea10d8483a23.exe
- DIRECT/206.24.192.222 text/html

Does anyone know what can be wrong?

Regards,
Carlos.
