Any thoughts, on how to handle this?
I wish, squid would handle this case gracefully somehow.

Its not HTTP; it doesn't really matter if its HTTP-like.

Steven Wilton has some patches to Squid-2.6 which implement "full transparency"
on non-HTTP looking data; perhaps you want to use those.

Just in case, you didn't know already:

This ICY crap (yes, i call it crap, because a HTTP-request deserves a HTTP response, and sending this ICY crap instead is really a bad idea, whoever had it) seems to be pretty wide spread. Just checked many of the streams at shoutcast.com.

But you never heard about that? Am i the first one who complains?

I expected this "full transparency" to be a standard feature because of this mess out there in the net. Maybe even configurable (enable transparent mode depending on a regular expression analysing the first line of the reply).


Can this HTTP 0.9 support be switched off somehow? If the first line of the reply is not "HTTP.*", then i don't want it ...


Regards,
  Sven
