RE: [squid-users] FW: Bypassing Squid for HTTP 1.1 chunked respon se

Hello,

I encounter the same problem with my Siebel Web Application.
I apply the following instruction in squid.conf :

acl MySiebelCL dst 10.0.0.10/255.255.255.255
header_access Accept-Encoding deny MySiebelCL

But I don't see any change. The response time are very slow. If I the same
access without the proxy/
the response time is better.

Do you have any idea ?

Thanks for your support,
Regards,
Mehdi

You can try

header_access deny Accept-Encoding

this solves identical problem with many other web sites..

This is not a Squid bug. HTTP specifications is very very clear on the
point that HTTP/1.1 server MUST NOT respond with chunked encoding in
response to HTTP/1.0 requests.

This has to be done in the client.
