When dealing with mobile clients it is very common to have multisecond delays during the transmission of HTTP requests. If you are serving pages or services out of a prefork Apache the child processes will be tied up for seconds serving a single mobile client, even if your app server logic is done in 5ms. I am looking for a HTTP server, ...
Hi, We have a SQUID reverse proxy and a MOSS 2007 portal. All sites are using NTLM. We cannot get it working with SQUID as a reverse proxy. Any ideas where to start? ...
Does anybody know a good tutorial about Squid plug-in development? ...
Assuming I have an open source web server or proxy I can enhance, let's say apache or squid. Is there a way to determine the time each client spends on a web page? HTTP is of course stateless, so it's not trivial, but maybe someone has an idea on how to approach this problem? Thanks. ...
Currently, I've got an expensive license for a reverse proxy server in an environment that is mostly Tomcat. I'm thinking of one or both of the following upgrades. Using Squid instead of the expensive licensed product. Using some Apache2 settings for caching. Right now, I'm vague on the details, but perhaps mod_proxy will work here? ...
I would like to set up a proxy server on Fedora Core 4. Any idea of which ones might be easy to set up? I would like to connect through that server and receive an IP address from my ISP, since I have IP-address filtering on my apache server. Squid is an option, but I'm not sure how easy or hard it is to set up. Thanks. ...
I have a user who gets an error from ajax calls on our site. The error is pasted below. They get the error in FF3 Windows, but not IE. Based on some searching it seems this issue is often caused by the client protocol squid (you'll notice at the end of the error, squid is mentioned). My ajax code is the same used here: http://www.w3...
Hi folks We need a web content accelerator for static images to sit in front of our Apache web front end servers Our previous hosting partner used Tux with great success and I like the fact it's part of Red Hat Linux which we're using, but its last update was in 2006 and there seems little chance of future development. Our ISP recommen...
I would like to know whether it is possible to force LWP::UserAgent to accept an expired SSL certificate for a single, well-known server. The issue is slightly complicated by the Squid proxy in between. I went as far as to set up a debugging environment like: use warnings; use strict; use Carp; use LWP::UserAgent; use LWP::Debug qw(+);...
I have a network were would like like to deliver data using the Flash Remoting data format over http. We have Squid working as a reverse proxy/accelerator, are there any known problems running this traffic through Squid. We would configure that particular URL to not be cached. Mike. ...
I'm looking for a caching reverse proxy (something like squid or varnish) with good support for serving stale content in the event of failure - in other words, if the application I'm proxying goes away or starts serving internal server errors I'd like the cache to continue to serve the last good response saved from the back end. Essentia...
April fools is coming up. I'd like to play this prank where we use an http proxy to modify images as they come through the proxy. I've been told that there are scripts/add-ons to ISA/Squid that can do this but I haven't been able to find much on my own. Ideally, we'd like to superimpose another image on top of every .gif/.jpeg/.png that...
On our Squid server, the admin has put on a new regex rule: ^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+ I know that it stands for IP address, but it allows all URLs to go through, only pinging external address has stopped. Also tunneling software like UltraSurf have stopped connecting to the server. Skype also is not getting connected. Please e...
I have a website (windows IIS) that is very busy and I wanted to setup an SQUID Reverse proxy to offload some of the traffic. I wanted to know what are the best practices, and how to setup it up on a Windows or Unix server. ...
I have setup squid in for caching .. and have used pointers from Last.fm post. Though I have high capacity servers, since Squid is able to use only processor core, the CPU usage seems to be really high. Is there a better way to optimize squid to use less CPU ? I have tried using tcmalloc, and disabling ESI.. but none of these help. ...
Recently I have been charged with implementing Squid Proxy server for my organization of approximately 250 users. I have plenty of Linux experience and I am looking to find the best administrators guidebook for my buck. What are everyone's suggestions? Is a book the best way to go or are there other good online resources that I can re...
We want to decrease the load in one of our web servers and we are running some tests with squid configured as a reverse proxy. The configuration is in the remarks below: http_port 80 accel defaultsite=original.server.com cache_peer original.server.com parent 80 0 no-query originserver name=myAccel acl our_sites dstdomain...
We have a client application that allows users to download full length 192Kb/s MP3 audio files. Because the files are stored externally to us as a business, we need to be able to: 1) Copy file from external location into a local Server cache 2) Copy that file to the client that requested it Obviously further requests on the same file...
I have recently been tasked with installing and configuring Squid Proxy server for filtering and monitoring our internal wireless network. I posted recently requesting guidance in selecting a Guidebook for this project and you guys did a grade job there. My next question is which Logfile Analysis tool does the stackoverflow community su...
Hello everybody! I'm new to Squid, and am investigating whether it would be able to accomplish a task at hand. I need to "transpose" port 80 of a static IP to the port 1088 on a dynamic IP that has a hostname pointer though no-ip.com. In other words: somedomain.com has an A record 1.2.3.4 someotherdomain.com a dynamic A record (u...
