Re: [squid-users] (145) Connection timed out

Hi Mike,

Thanks for taking the time to test this out.

I'm pretty convinced that the problem is between my parent proxy, and the
squid proxy since if I use the parent proxy directly I can surf the pages
no problem but as soon as I through squid in-between I get problems. One
thing to note is that the proxies do speak to each other ok, for example if
I try to telnet to the squid port, and do a GET on the web page, I get the
authorization required error message from the parent proxy

Only thing is, I don't administer the parent proxy, and without any errors
in the squid log files to work with, I'm kinda lost.

What would be the suggested course for trouble shooting the conversation
between parent and child proxies? Am I going to have to sniff the network,
or is there some easier way to go about things? I noticed that the actual
request for the posted page doesn't end up in the log files until I hit the
stop button on the browser... does this have something to do with it, or is
that just the normal program flow?

Another question that I have is, Does the connection timed out error
message come when the connection to the parent proxy is not possible or is
it only when the destination server cannot be reached?

Thanks,

Paul

Paul,

I tried this from my Solaris 8 Squid 2.5S2 test system and did not have a
problem. (http://www.google.ca/search?)
