The good news is that there is a work-around and I have just uploaded an updated version. Pls download the latest version (setup screen should say 2.8.0.R1), and let me know...
Yes, R1 works - thanks for the quick fix.
[I am no fan at all of this ISP or Squid as a transparent proxy --- there is 1 website I can't use at all=connection refused= and this 3rd-world ISP/tech support which barely understands English is unable to correct the problem; they have the word 'bittorrent' blocked in the proxy so that an URL that has that character sequence results in 'Access Denied'; there TWO instances of the proxy, and different releases at that - 1 in the building I'm in, and another further along as evidenced by the headers sent to web servers:
HTTP_VIA = 1.1 xx.xx.xx.xx:8080 (squid/2.5.STABLE11), 1.0 xx.xx.xx.xx:8080 (squid/2.6.STABLE9)
HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR = 10.17.x.x, 203.x.x.x
and, when the proxy gets out of whack (which happens all too frequently), any request for anything on port 80 times out, but other services (
https://, pop, etc.) work just fine.....]
