Re: [squid-users] Custom Error Pages with images

Henrik

Perhaps I am not understanding something about this.

I use transparent proxying. I tried to provide a custom GIF image on error
pages by using a URL as you describe, and editing the error pages so they
contain the image tags. However, the images are proxied. If the proxy says
"access denied" the images is not available to the user, and so do not
display. As a result of this problem I simply removed my custom images. You
seem to be contradicting what I observed.

While I was doing this I added some extra % tags to the replacement on the
error pages, and some corresponding tags in squid.conf. That made it easier
to make the changes.

I guess it would be possible not to apply the access controls to the images
used for the error pages.
