Normally when a url is unavailable I get a Squid error message. When I try and access an secure site, I get an IE5 message complaining that there is a DNS error and the address cannot be found. I am at home at the moment, but will be at school tomorrow when I can dig out the exact error message. Do a search on Google for 'squid SSL' and see how many hundreds of messages there are saying that secure pages cannot be accessed when running squid. I am not alone by a long way!! BTW, does Apache do web caching too? Is it a simpler alternative to squid? > what EXACTLY are you having problems with? is it saying permission > denied? or is it hanging or what? what does squid logs say?

We need to run IE5 because of the hybrid nature of our Connect network. We have over 800 users and have admin utilities and registry strings to ensure that when pupils log on their email addresses etc. are assigned according to their usernames. We had to buy a Web Integration Package to upgrade to IE5, we were told not to simply install the usual version obtainable off the net, so I am loathe to change browsers. I am not sure there is anything useful at the moment for the Windows platform anyhow, apart from IE5. Netscape is falling apart IMHO and in its version 6 incarnation is unusable. It might be useful if you could email me your squid.conf.
