Hi,

I am having problems when accessing url www.thestar.com. The site is a major
Canadian News Paper, so kind of rule out it as a problem of the site. Often
the pages on the browser don't finish right comparing to direct access
without polipo.

I track down the problem to "repeatedly accessing an URL by HEAD method".

Here is the request:

HEAD http://www.thestar.com/js/functions.js?3276.464859410217 HTTP/1.0
Host: www.thestar.com
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.16)

s_sq=%5B%5BB%5D%5D
Proxy-Authorization: Basic Zm1pbmc6RmlyZXdhbGw=


After a few consecutive tries of the request, I start to get error reply
like this:

I dig into the polipo cache and find this file of size 2048

Anyone has an insight into this problem?

Ming
