[squid-users] Re: squid error messages through transparent?

It is IE who substitutes the error message presented by Squid with
what it thinks is better for the user to see.

See Internet Options -> Advanced. There is an option called "Show
friendly HTTP errors", default to on..

You should be able to hint to IE that the error message is good for
the user by extending it to be at least 10KB in size (I think the
threshold is 10KB, experiment a little if it does not work).

<!-- THIS JUNK CONVINCES IE THAT THIS ERROR PAGE IS GOOD
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
[repeat the XXX line something like 200 times..]
THIS JUNK CONVINCES IE THAT THIS ERROR PAGE IS GOOD -->

The XXXXXX will get compressed for modem users to barely nothing
while in transit..

Seems to work here.

Henrik
