Squid 2.6STABLE1 and IE6 SP2
I have a very short period of time in which to set up a proxy server for about 800 Windows boxes that "have to" use IE5 or IE6. I decided to try Squid since it seems to be the most popular proxy out there and it supports SSL/https proxying. I tested quiet a few things the past few days and everything looked good. But I run Gentoo Linux as my desktop and Firefox as my browser. Today, I gained access to a Windows box to test with and I found that the proxy didn't work. When I'd point IE to my Squid proxy and then restart it, I couldn't get anywhere when I'd type in any URL (local or on the internet). So I did some Googling and found a tip that I could either set "use http 1.1 when proxying" to on in the Internet Options dialog or I could apply the latest IE patches. I tested by setting the suggested http 1.1 setting and that allowed the proxy to work. The problem I'm facing is that our Windows admin is positive there is no way to set this for all the browsers centrally. So I'm wondering if there are any changes that I can make on the proxy side to make Squid a bit more friendly to IE. Anyone else using Squid in a medium sized (500+ workstations) environment with IE5 or IE6(SP2)/?

squid_session
squid_session(8) System Manager's Manual squid_session(8)
NAME
squid_session - Squid session tracking external acl group helper
SYNOPSIS
squid_session [-t idle_timeout] [-b dbpath] [-a]
DESCRIPTION
This helper maintains a concept of sessions by monitoring requests and timing out sessions if no requests have been seen for the idle time-
out timer.
Intended use is for displaying "terms of use" pages, ad popups etc.
-t idletimeout (default 3600)
Specifies the session idle timeout timer.
-b dbpath
Path to persistent database. If not specified the session details will be kept in memory only and all sessions will reset each time
Squid restarts it's helpers (Squid restart or rotation of logs).
-a Active mode. In this mode sessions are started by evaluating an acl with the argument LOGIN, or terminated by the argument LOGOUT.
Without this flag the helper automatically starts the session after the first request.
EXAMPLE
Configuration example using the default automatic mode
external_acl_type session ttl=300 negative_ttl=0 children=1 concurrency=200 %LOGIN /usr/local/squid/libexec/squid_session
acl session external session
http_access deny !session
deny_info http://your.server/bannerpage?url=%s session
Then set up http://your.server/bannerpage to display a session startup page and then redirect the user back to the requested URL given in
the url query parameter.
