FWIW, you can test the jse.trivago.com request by manually requesting (from Safari on OS X): http://jse.trivago.com/osp/v9_05_4ae/pricesearch/js/common.es5.ltr.ec.js It’s just a big JS library for hunting prices down. I had some fun messing round with the local copy, so some prices for $1000+/night hotels came up as “FREE!”…would be fun getting them to price match that :) —>8— snipped again… As for the weird connectivity, I know TPG for a long time ran transparent proxies without really making it widely known. I’ve seen similar behaviour to that which you describe when my local Squid cache get’s it’s panties in a bunch. “squid -k restart” usually does the trick. However, before rattling TPG’s cage, maybe try flushing the browser cache and see if the problems persist. Good luck. -- James
