[squid-users] Webpage partially downloaded via squid

Hi,

I have a strange issue where one website in particular is typically never being fully downloaded when accessing it via our squid proxy.

It doesn't matter which browser is used, and the behaviour can be simulated using squidclient. If you do a browser reload/refresh, the page  is downloaded fine, but subsequent calls to the same website fail.

In addition, if you don't use the proxy at all, the page is downloaded/rendered without any issues at all.

Judging by the output shown below, the website itself seems to be giving a heap of garbage to squid on the initial requests, but I am after reassurance that this is the case.

Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

Here is some info showing this:
