I sincerely regret the time I invested in tweaking and adjusting this Squid configuration. Should I spend hours trying to figuring out this latest idiotic bug, or just go back to Trafficserver? I think you know the answer. Goodbye Squid, and good riddance.

I'm sorry your experience is so bad. Generally, in the open source
1248+
world, a common reaction is to contribute code to make things better,
1249+
if one has the time. That's how I got involved in Squid development,
1250+
for instance
1251+
Unfortunately there's not much information provided here to understand
1252+
what may be happening and try to help you. For what it's worth no one
1253+
else ever reported this as a problem.

I sincerely wish you will find something that works well for you. Good
1258+
luck with your search!
