RE: [squid-users] Squid mishandling certain kinds of media types

Hi Mark,

Under normal requesting circumstances (not using the squid proxy) the MIME
types show up correctly, and this is confirmed with the output from the site
you recommended. I tried using a different machine and squid performs
properly, indicating the correct MIME types and referring to the correct IP
address of the originally requested web server. There are a lot of
variances between the correctly performing machine and the incorrectly
performing one, and I'm trying to chase them down one at a time. In the
meantime, if anyone has ever run into this problem before or is willing to
help me chase down this issue, I'd appreciate it.

-Gary

  The remote websever may be a fault; returning insufficient mime
  types.
  Check this out with :

                      http://web-sniffer.net/

  If squid requests an object from a remote webserver
  then logic tells that the source address of the requestor is
  the ip address of the SQUID box.
