I have a Squid 2.6 system that has been working perfectly for the past month.
(or so I thought) I have users complaining that when they go to the video
section on CNN and attempt to watch videos they occasionally get a message in
the video window that says “The video system was not able to establish
connectivity due to a Proxy/Firewall or network connectivity.” If they click
the same link again it works. They also have complained that the video takes
3-5 seconds to start when it is almost instantaneous when not using the proxy.
None of these issues are experienced when not using the proxy.
Any ideas?
Try grabbing the URI using squidclient and see if its shows any unusual
headers. This is usually caused by broken streaming servers trying
HTTP/1.1 stuff when they should not.
It might also be CNNs cluttered pages hogging squid resources with
uncachable content bottle-necking under all your users.
From here it takes 45sec to load all 124 javascript files including the
40KB front page script. The flash-video advertising adds a further 15
sec each.
All their content is marked uncachable and pre-expired. That along would
make squid re-fetch the lot for each client request.
