Microsoft break support.microsoft.com for Squid users
It seems that Microsoft have managed to break their support site for anyone behind a Squid proxy server. Danny has posted a fix for this on his website, though for newer version of squid a slightly different approach is required.
## # Fix support.microsoft.com ## acl fixSupportMicrosoft dstdomain support.microsoft.com reply_header_access Accept-Encoding deny fixSupportMicrosoft request_header_access Accept-Encoding deny fixSupportMicrosoft
What you’re doing there is preventing the Microsoft support site from gzip’ing their content.

Thank you for the information. Out of interest, when you say newer version is this fix valid from 3.0 onwards?

Rhys,
It is indeed. Worked a treat on our Squid 3.0.PRE5 proxy.
Cheers,
Dave
