Hi,

we use a pac file with a backup proxy (like that: PROXY normal_squid:80; PROXY 
backup_squid:80). When someone accesses an HTTPS Website sometimes the request gets to 
the backup proxy even when the normal proxy is up and running.
By making a Man in the middle attack I figured that the IE Browser uses the backup 
proxy after it got no response for three requests. 
I haven't figured out why sometimes requests are not answered by the web server. I set 
up my own SSL Web server but with this web server it always worked (the browser never 
chose the backup proxy). So I don't know where the data (the request package or the 
answer package) gets lost when I make request to an HTTPS server through squid.
How could I figure out why some requests are not answered by the HTTPS Server when I 
don't have access to it?

thanks,

Markus Wagner
