Hi All,

I've got a problem that I hope you all can help me with.

The goal: A content filtering proxy server for a small number of users
that don't need to pay for the service, no need for a captive portal.
Log file display or conveyance has been requested.

Current setup:  Puppy Linux setup with the devx pup, manual installs of
dualserver (for DHCP and DNS), tinyproxy and dansguardian.  A firewall
rule to redirect port 80 to 8080 (where dansguardian is listening) to
make it a transparent proxy.  Another to block the port that tinyproxy
is listening on.

Using my laptop as a test client, everything works as advertised until I
point my browser at the Awstats home page (looking for a log display
solution).  The error that I get with Firefox in Windows and most
browsers in linux is "Content Encoding Error" and some verbage about an
incompatible compression scheme.  IE, of course, only gives the usual
"Page cannot be displayed" error.  If I by-pass dansguardian by turning
on the proxy setting in the browser and pointing it at tinyproxy, I can
see the awstat web site.  So, the cause of the error is dansguardian,
however, the error is not generated by dansguardian.  It is generated by
the browser.  The log files do not say anything about any problems, all
is normal according to them.

The only clue I found had to do with zlib encoding, so I rebuilt
dansguardian with the --with-zlib-static switch so that the zlib library
would be statically linked.  No change.  I tried changing all kinds of
configuration options.  No change.  I downloaded the source code for
zlib and installed it.  No change.  I rebuilt dansguardian, again.  No
change.

I feel like I'm missing something, mainly because this does not seem to
have stumped very many people, and dansguardian is not the only cause.
The disheartening part is that the pleas for help went unanswered.

Now I am crying for help, please help with any clues you might have.

Thank you sincerely,
