[squid-users] websites not responding

I am finding that some websites do not respond when queried through squid.

I looked at this page, which suggests some solutions:
http://squidproxy.wordpress.com/2007/06/05/thinsg-to-look-at-if-websites-are-hanging
but I don't think it gives any useful suggestions. I tried setting the
mss to 1200 without success.

The basic reason that I don't think these suggestions are appropriate
for the problems I am seeing is simply that queries from the same
machine using telnet or wget (but not from squid) do get responses, so
the problem appears to be related to squid, rather than the networking
setup.

Also, I don't see any relevant icmp packets being dropped by the
iptables rules (all on the same machine -- it is a firewall/proxy in
one) and, being a Linux firewall, I think that it should be able to
deal with ECN bits in packets.

Are there any other suggestions, other settings to try? I am running
squid 3.1.19 on Gentoo Linux

Regards,

Simon
