Hi All, IE6 SP1, XP all latest winBLOWS updates. latest security fix has broken Windows Media player NTLM auth. I thought at first it was the problem mentioned in this thread http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200402/0066.html I've worked through that. my wininet.dll is 6.0.2800.1400, i've tried making "ERR_CACHE_ACCESS_DENIED message larger than 1460 bytes. " substansially larger as suggested by Henrik. But it's not IE that is the problem, it's windows media player 9. it takes 20 seconds to timeout and throw up a dialog box that prompts for a username password, and if i retype password it works, using basic auth which I have turned on for our linux users. actually browsing works in WMP, but as soon as i click an audio link it has the problem. to test: start, run, wmplayer, wait for page. click seal (or anything else that takes your fancy), select an audio link and wait.... squid 2.5_Stable3 access_log: 1076636556.018 221 10.160.0.200 TCP_MISS/200 2799 GET http://windowsmedia.com/CAPS/ImagesContent/A39590F5-ACF0-4A63-A11E-8CF3F80C3 AA9.jpg lonsdale\mwestern DIRECT/207.46.248.112 image/jpeg 1076636556.065 221 10.160.0.200 TCP_MISS/200 2393 GET http://windowsmedia.com/CAPS/ImagesContent/75214D0A-92A2-4E22-9952-1B6271642 3DD.jpg lonsdale\mwestern DIRECT/207.46.196.100 image/jpeg 1076636556.107 218 10.160.0.200 TCP_MISS/200 2078 GET http://windowsmedia.com/CAPS/ImagesContent/255D4381-F9BF-4FB5-B0B8-F9CCA5785 E2D.jpg lonsdale\mwestern DIRECT/207.46.196.101 image/jpeg 1076636556.128 225 10.160.0.200 TCP_MISS/200 3067 GET http://windowsmedia.com/CAPS/ImagesContent/BD45D765-8C54-4990-9434-6B996184C 8C7.jpg lonsdale\mwestern DIRECT/207.46.248.113 image/jpeg 1076636571.445 502 10.160.0.200 TCP_MISS/302 190 GET http://redir.windowsmedia.com/CT/WM3-en-us/7/146/S3/L5/d.htm? lonsdale\mwestern DIRECT/207.46.130.110 - 1076636572.541 1095 10.160.0.200 TCP_MISS/200 579 GET http://www.b2klovesyou.com/videos/B2K_BadaboomVidFull_300.asx lonsdale\mwestern DIRECT/64.14.39.199 video/x-ms-asf 1076636598.950 11 10.160.0.200 TCP_DENIED/407 1906 GET http://wm.sony.global.speedera.net/wm.sony.global/B2K/B2K_BadaboomVidFull_30 0.wmv - NONE/- text/html I don't want to just upgrade to 2.5_Stable4 *unless* i know that this is fixed. at least not in a hurry. i will eventually, but it's a production server.
