Well the idea was to use these to be sure I can GET those 2 links used
for check and splash and not get stuck in a loop.

10 192.168.235.136
10 ERR message="No session available"

It does seem to RANDOMLY work. It's like this:
* squid is started, I am not allowed any access although I hit the check link
** I restart squid, I am allowed access and after a few seconds denied
* I restart squid, again no access.
** Restart again, access allowed and after a few seconds denied

The odd thing is that I can never make squid accurately reproduce the
errors. I just toyed around with the parameters in squid.conf and
after reverted to the old ones, and it's just stuck in an infinite
loop trying to GET splash.php.

I'm having trouble applying the patch. Can't I just recompile another build?
