I have found that Squid slows down access to a particular web site
(https://immpact2.maine.gov), especially when I am using Firefox 2.0 from a
Windows XP computer.
I am currently running 2.5 on Debian Woody but I tried installing Debian Etch
on a spare computer and pulled down the apt packaged Squid versions of 2.6 and
3 and found that they also slow down access to this site.
My untrained eyes don't see anything funny in the logs when accessing this site.
Does anyone know of any configuration issues that would affect the speed of
only certain https sites? On my production box running Squid 2.5 I have things
like squidguard and ntlm auth running but when I was testing Etch with 2.6 and
3 I took the standard config file and simply added an acl to let me connect.
Could some kind soul with access to Squid proxy and a direct connection test
loading the above mentioned website both ways and let me know if you have the
same experience that I have? (Just load the main page and see how quickly the
graphics download.)
Thanks!
Matthew
