[squid-users] Squid can't connect some web sites

Dear all,

Recently I meet the strange problem, Squid can't access some web
sites. For example, http://www.hsa.gov.sg/

I'm using pfSense 1.2-RC2(built on Fri Aug 17 17:46:06 EDT 2007), and
I have Squid ( 2.6.5_1-p15) installed as a transparent proxy on my
LAN. All seemed to be working fine until my users told me there's the
website that can't see.

I check the access.log, I saw a lot of TCP_MISS, and I use ethereal to
trace from my local computer to that web site, It seems to lost some
packets.

The browser of the windows clients only can see the title and the
browser just keeps trying to connect the HTML page until it times-out,
its source html page is not full retrieved.
I looked up the source of this website, it has not finished with this
tag </html>

I tried to modify the squid.conf to directly connect out without
caching, I google it and found this page
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ConfiguringSquid#head-d82a8d4c42f3600c857cef92d77d76914af54592
(Can I make Squid go direct for some sites?) and modified the setting
then restarted. It still can't work it out.

I found another article
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SystemWeirdnesses#head-699d810035c099c8b4bff21e12bb365438a21027
 ( Can't connect to some sites through Squid )
But don't know how to test it in pfSense.

I asked my friends access this web site via their own squid proxy,
they have the same problems, therefore I don't think it is due to
pfSnese.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Please advise me.
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,
Bruce
