Hi,

I'm using folding@home and squid in transparent proxy mode
(i'm not telling fah that there is a proxy)
I had to change the body_max_size to let folding at home
submit his result : (in squid.conf)

-# request_body_max_size 1 MB
+# bumped from 1mb to 2 mb for folding at home
+request_body_max_size 2 MB

using :
ii squid 2.4.6-2 Internet Object Cache (WWW proxy cache)

every thing is fine now. Thanks for such a good free software.
