Hello there! We're using the latest stable version of Squid here in our office (2.5.STABLE6) as our main proxy server. Recently a strange problem has come to my attention, and I can't find any other mention of it in the mailing lists.
A couple of users have complained that after a short while of browsing in a fresh IE window, the browser becomes unresponsive to clicks, and refuses to load pages even if a new URL is typed in the address bar. No errors are produced, the browser just sits there apparently doing nothing. I have been able to replicate this behaviour myself. The strange thing is that this only seems to affect IE, users with Mozilla or Firefox are browsing fine. Closing the IE window and opening a new one get things working again - at least for a time until the same problem occurs. I'm guessing - perhaps wrongly - that it may be due to the use of the winbind ntlm helper. A while back when we were just using the basic authenticator alone the problem didn't seem to occur. Can anyone offer any feedback on this? I'll happily provide copies of the squid.conf if required - I haven't done this in the original request in case it is a problem someone has already come across before. Thanks in advance.
