RE: [squid-users] ERR_INVALID_REQ - Invalid Request

Hi Adrian,

Thank you for your reply.

I have Ubuntu Edgy and I installed squid with apt-get. Is there a way to
tell what options were used to configure it?

Thanks!

Angela

You need to add 'transparent' to this line, ie:

http_port 3328 transparent

And make sure you've compiled squid with --enable-linux-netfilter .

(And you also should upgrade, there's quite a few nasty bugs between
squid-2.6.STABLE1 and
Squid-2.6.STABLE9.)
