I'd be interested to know what the symptoms you're experiencing are.

I'm getting the following (tested in Debian's Squid 2.6.5-6etch4 and Squid
3.0.STABLE19-1) with Firefox 3.5 and IE7:

* Login page shows. Login works fine.
* Redirects to home page (i presume that's your (3) above)

About 50% of the time, this home page will be blank. Shift-reload in Firefox
doesn't seem to fix it (shift-reloading 8-10 times seems to eventually display
the content).

The problem's not restricted to the home page -- other pages, e.g. profile
pages also get the "blank page" issue.

I've tried the "chunked decoding" hack described here:
    http://squidproxy.wordpress.com/2008/04/29/chunked-decoding/
without any luck.

I've also attempted some of the other suggestions e.g. disabling persistent
connections (both client and proxy) with no luck.

Strangely, the problem only started occurring maybe around 2 months ago (when I
was running a squid 2.x variant).

Cheers,
Peter
