RE: [squid-users] Windows update won't work through Squid proxy

I am using 2.4Stable7, but can't find information on the extension_methods directive. Where can I find how to use this or can someone post a quick and dirty guide?

Thanks

Mike Jacobi

Thanks for the help on that, I didn't know that!
I am running 2.4.STABLE2. I will upgrade my version.
Thanks again.

Wherever you read that was wrong. You need to add appropriate request
method support to your Squid.

2.5.STABLE1 already has the ones you need. You can add them to
2.4.STABLE7 by using the extension_methods directive. No older Squid
versions should be used.
