Ok, I think I figured it out.
First let me make clear what is going on. If I log onto my Yahoo web Mail account and compose a message and then try to attach a file to the Yahoo email that is greater than 1 MB the attachment does not upload to the email.
I did some additional testing, when I used a Linux box I got the following error when the web upload was attempted:
=============================================================
ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved
While trying to retrieve the URL:
http://us.f536.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Attachments? The following error was encountered:
The request or reply is too large.
If you are making a POST or PUT request, then your request body (the thing you are trying to upload) is too large. If you are making a GET request, then the reply body (what you are trying to download) is too large. These limits have been established by the Internet Service Provider who operates this cache. Please contact them directly if you feel this is an error.

=============================================================
This error was not received when trying this on the MS Win boxes.
So a little googling and I think that we need to change the following line in the squid.conf file from the default of 1 MB to the size of the web upload needed:
request_body_max_size 1 MB
(see
http://squid.visolve.com/squid/squid24s1/tuning.htm )
Actually, I guess the change should be made in a custom template file.
I am having trouble getting remote access to this server right now so I can’t try it out now, but I am fairly sure that this is the problem at this point and wanted to get the word back to Henry as I know I was getting frustrated with this.
Hope this helps and I will update this later this evening
Thanks for all the suggestions
