The above URL works fine for me (Linux 2.0.29 and squid 1.1.8), but I do have exactly the same problem with some other URLs. For example, http://www.spiegel.de , a big german magazine, had the zero-sized-object problem 3 days ago. Today, it works fine. The same goes for some (not all!) private homepages on compuserve.com.

When such a problem comes up, it remains consistent for a few days (maybe while it is cached?), but after a few days it simply goes away. Maybe some corrupt data is beeing stored in the cache?

This is a BIG problem for me, too. But how can it be investigated and corrected? Any Comments and help are welcome!
