Hi all. It's not just Stable12, I've also tested that with Stable6 and Stable4 ...
In the case a user requests a directory listing and he does have the proper rights for the target directory, but not for the path leading to it, Squid responds with a 404 (ftp 550). When using any other proxy (BlueCoat, Netcache etc.) or direct access with the browser (or a ftp client) then he can access the location. I've sniffed a bit of the traffic and saw that Squid actually tries to "cwd" through the whole path, one layer at a time, while all others directly "cwd" into the target directory with one request. So, is that a bug, or is it seen as a special feature? As far as I know, the rfc isn't very specific, but as all others do it the other way ... regards, Oliver Baumgaertel
