RE: [squid-users] Configuring ICAP with Squid 3.0 Pre7

Hi Shailesh,
  The squid icap client before start using an ICAP server sends an OPTIONS
request to this server to retrieve some information about this server
(eg if previews supported, which file types must send etc). If the
server does not respond correctly, the squid icap client will not use
this ICAP service.

So the line in your cache.log file says that something goes wrong in
OPTIONS request send by squid icap client.
Is your ICAP server listens to port 1344?
Are you able to connect to the ICAP server on port 1344 from your squid
machine (eg using a "telnet redhat4up4.sse.com 1344" )?

If all the above are OK, maybe you can use tcpdump or wireshark to
examine the squid/ICAP negotiation......

Regards,
     Christos
