RE: [squid-users] Unsupported method 'GNUTELLA'

It means that someone is using a Gnutella file sharing client somewhere
on you network, and using the http port to get around any firewall or
network security provisions that might be set up. Bearshare has a
provision in it to do that.

[Squid 2.4S1, Sun Solaris 8]

For the last couple weeks my squid cache.log has been logging many of
these messages:

2002/03/26 15:34:30| clientReadRequest: FD 280 Invalid Request
2002/03/26 15:34:35| parseHttpRequest: Unsupported method 'GNUTELLA'

What would this mean?
