Now before I get flamed, I am on a tight timeline and am also reading through the archives to try to find a solution, but I would appreciate any help I can get on this matter.
We have a caching product that uses a Squid cache as it's main proxy (Stratacache) and on the recommendation of the manufacturer we have installed a Cisco Router to process the WWW traffic and redirect it to the cache using WCCP. This solution worked excellenty and performed really well. The problem came from the fact we could no longer connect to any websites requiring a HTTPS connection. No yahoo mail no hotmail would work. So originally I noticed that our firewall was sending HTTP traffic to the internet using it's management public IP address, and all HTTPS traffic was going via the NAT rules in the firewall. This would mean the web server would seen HTTP and HTTPS from different public IP's and close the connection. I have since corrected this minor issue so that the authenticating web servers will see the HTTP and HTTPS traffic from the same public IP address. I am unable to find out from the Cisco web site if the router is forwarding the HTTPS to the cache (I am installing a sniffer today so I'll get back to you on that). Now it stikes me as odd that this would happen on every WCCP + Squid install but there seems no immediate solution (I am trawling the archives as well though in case I missed it (although search didn't throw up too much)). Any help or advice would be appreciated. David Stout Traffic Shapers EMail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW : http://www.trafficshapers.co.uk
