Hi,

This is my configuration :
RedHat Linux v7
squid2.5PRE7
parent configuration -> fw -> internet

Any idea what might change the data inside a http packet, when
it goes through squid?

Here is an example, the URL (the URL is used to book cabinets for company
board meetings...) requested is the same in both cases.
Note how something in squid seems to change every "%20" to normal
spaces. Also HTTP version is different.

With proxy (Frame 14):
 GET /roombook/bin/showrecord.asp?recno=843&msg=eYour selection conflicts
with the reservation below! HTTP/1.0\r\n

Without proxy (Frame 7):
 GET
/roombook/bin/showrecord.asp?recno=843&msg=eYour%20selection%20conflicts%20w
ith%20the%20reservation%20below! HTTP/1.1\r\n

I ran tcpdump outside firewall to capture these.
I know it is difficult to tell why it behaves like this,
but I'd appreciate if you have any idea at all how to fix it.

We fixed this now by editing our proxy configuration script and to use
direct connection to "services.anydad.com" (also opened firewall to enable
it to go direct)

best regards,
