RE: [squid-users] squid3 WindowsUpdate failed

I've updated squid with the resume fix, and WU still not working.

---
squid3 (3.0.RC1-2) unstable; urgency=low
  * debian/patches/08-resume-http.dpatch
    - Added upstream patch fixing failure to resume downloads
---
Any idea?

Lucky you, looks like you have a good up-to-date user base then :). Mine
have trouble in WinXP SP1 and some earlier versions of the ActiveX WU'er
they call MicrosoftUpdate. GenuineAdvantage my a*%#.

IIRC others earlier found that WU used range requests to speed downloads.
I have never confirmed this myself.
Anyway, a bug has just been found in 3.0.RC1 that caused certain range
requests to close prematurely.
http://www.squid-cache.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=2116
A fix has been incorporated in the next daily snapshot. If anyone is
having this problem with 3.0.RC1, please give the 31 Oct or later
snapshots a try and see if that fixes your problem.
If its still present it will need to be reported as a bug with traces, etc.
Thank you.
