| I am having an issue with timeouts using squid with both IE and
Firefox when using "auto detect proxy" When I am autodetecting the
proxy server, if I type in an invalid domain name (like google.comm,
or googlec.om, etc) it will take upwards of 20 seconds to timeout, and
give me the squid error page that the domain does not exist. During
this time, the browser completely locks up, and is unusable. However,
during my troubleshooting, I have noticed that if I manually set the
proxy settings in the browsers (with the same rules and execptions as
the proxy.pac and wpad.dat files, the timeout does not happen. The
browser does not lock up, and the "domain does not exist" squid error
page shows almost instantly. Unfortunately, due to people that travel
on the road, manually setting the Proxy is a problem prone thing, as
their browsers don't want to work "on the road" unless they connect to
our VPN. I have seen many other posts about the long timeouts before,
but never a good resolution. I was wondering if Anyone could point me
towards a fix, or if I have errors in my file.
Thank you...
Our Auto Proxy config file:
