[squid-users] Streaming asx files through squid

Hi List,

We are fairly new to using squid and are in the process of migrating 400 odd
proxy servers over to it. This is going fairly smoothly at the moment.
However some of the customers have reported that http://www.heartfm.co.uk is
no longer streaming radio for them.

The server that the audio streams from firstly sends this HTML file to the
client

<asx version = "3.0">

<title>Heart West Midlands 100.7 Live Stream</title>

                         <entry>

                                                 <title>LIVE :
Heart1007</title>

                                                 <ref
href="http://wm-global.london.as34763.net/Heart1007" />

                         </entry>

</asx>

Then http://wm-global.london.as34763.net/Heart1007

[Reference]

Ref1=http://wm-global.london.as34763.net/Heart1007?MSWMExt=.asf

Ref2=http://192.168.97.221:80/Heart1007?MSWMExt=.asf

If we use http://wm-global.london.as34763.net/Heart1007?MSWMExt=.asf
directly in Media player 11 this works through squid

Our setup is a local squid server at each site > to DNS round robin of
parent servers in the core > Internet

The squid servers are built on Xeon 3.0 GHz servers with 2GB ram and ~500GB
disk space of which 400GB is cache. The OS is REHL 5.1 and running Squid
2.6.STABLE6 (we are using this version due to redhat offering support for
it)

Using the parents directly or the old proxy server's this streams fine
though windows media player 11.
