Is anyone else experiencing a problem after logging into hotmail? I login, but only get a white screen, nothing else. Only happens when behind SME. Things are fine when I uses a public address or through a hardware router not behind a SME server.
Have added always_direct ACLs for hotmail.com, hotmail.msn.com, and passport.net to squid.conf with no luck.
Any suggestions?
TIA

Someone at work asked me the same question about hotmail, and it only apears on older SME servers, at one office (still has SME 5.6 u6 ) it gave me the blank white page.
at the other office that has 6.0.1 it was fine.
hope that helps
cheers

I have had this problem and have found that it only happens in Internet Explorer and Firefox works fine. It seems to be affecting most of the SME boxes that I have out there.

FYI:
For anyone having this trouble, you can use this workaround. It was given by Joe Cooper AT swelltech.com. I do not know if he is the one who actually figured it out or he is just passing on information.
NOTE: This workaround only works with squid version 2.5X. Please see message thread for download information.
Create the directory for the custom template for squid.conf:
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/squid/squid.conf/
Create and edit the template fragement:
vi or pico /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/squid/squid.conf/15hotmailfix
Paste in these lines:
acl hotmail_domains dstdomain .hotmail.msn.com
acl ie6 browser MSIE 6
header_access Accept-Encoding deny ie6 hotmail_domains
Save the file and issue the command:
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/squid/squid.conf
Next, issue the command:
service squid reload
Hotmail should work again.

Another way I have just found is to set the proxy settings in IE to point to the SME server and the prot should be set to 3128
-
Don't work for me. See the error when reload squid:
parseConfigFile: line 15 unrecognized: 'header_access Accept-Encoding deny ie6 hotmail_domains '
I appreciate any help

hotmail login is ok with Mozilla Firefox
so suggest something screwy with IE updates
Tried the above solution and no joy for me either with 6.01
Will try a few other things and post back

I am using a custom squid rpm from swelltech. You can download it here:
http://www.swelltech.com/support/updates/squid/7.x/RPMS/squid-2.5.STABLE3-1rh_7x.i386.rpm
or
http://ccskavenger.info/SME/contribs/swelltech-squid/squid-2.5.STABLE3-1rh_7x.i386.rpm
It has alot of optimizations compiled into it. Install with rpm -Uvh ***.rpm. Works great.

the squid templates have a bug that I haven't been able to figure out. Manually edit the file /etc/squid/squid.conf. Change from this:
acl localsrc src 127.0.0.1 172.0.0.0/255.255.252.0 172.0.0.0/255.255.252.0
acl localdst dst 127.0.0.1 172.0.0.0/255.255.252.0 172.0.0.0/255.255.252.0
To this:
acl localsrc src 127.0.0.1 172.0.0.0/255.255.252.0
acl localdst dst 127.0.0.1 172.0.0.0/255.255.252.0
Save and restart the service and everthing will be fine. The above is just an example, your network numbers will be different. :-D

Curiously this problem only appeared when I upgraded SME 6.01 and didn´t when I upgraded the Squid installation of my SME 5.6 box

Now not run trough proxy!!!!!

Can I suggest the following change to 20ACL10localhost:
my $localAccess = "127.0.0.1";

Hi all
Well I tried the modification :
Create the directory for the custom template for squid.conf:
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/squid/squid.conf/
Create and edit the template fragement:
vi or pico /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/squid/squid.conf/15hotmailfix
Paste in these lines:
acl hotmail_domains dstdomain .hotmail.msn.com
acl ie6 browser MSIE 6
header_access Accept-Encoding deny ie6 hotmail_domains
And they did not work, I have the 60101 last version box
I found in a spanish forum this:
version de squid es 2.4.STABLE6
squid.conf :
anonymize_headers deny Accept-Encoding
para Squid 2.5
agregar :
header_access Accept-Encoding deny all
And is working perfect the modification for squid 2.4
:pint:
Best regards
Al -.-

Just for confirmation it worked when I :
Create the directory for the custom template for squid.conf:
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/squid/squid.conf/
Create and edit the template fragement:
pico /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/squid/squid.conf/15hotmailfix
Paste in these lines:
acl hotmail_domains dstdomain .hotmail.msn.com
acl ie6 browser MSIE 6
anonymize_headers deny Accept-Encoding
Save the file and issue the command:
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/squid/squid.conf
Next, issue the command:
service squid reload

I'm having the same problem using SME 6.0 at home on my laptop and desktop. But here is an interesting twist:
I do computer work on the side at home and I was working on rebuilding a laptop with Windows XP Pro. This laptop is behind the SME server as well, but it CAN access Hotmail! How or why, I don't know. I was sure it had to be something with Internet Explorer myself...
The only thing different about this laptop I was working on, is the fact that up until last night, I have never used the internet on it.
I will try these fixes when I get home tonight, and let everyone know how it goes. I just wanted to make everyone aware of this with the hopes it may trigger a better solution.

Hey All,
I have been checking into the same issue, from what I have been able to find, this is more a recent MSIE issue than it is directly relating to the SME server software. Did some testing and research and the following worked for me:
- In MSIE Goto:
--> Tools
--> Internet Options
--> Advanced
- Under "Browsing", uncheck "Use HTTP 1.1"
(It is recommended to disable this when having problems browsing sites.)
That seemed to work for me. Also, per a FAQ/Answer Sheet by Sandi Hardmeier (MS MVP), you can also try checking:
"Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections".
That may help with future compatability depending on how you are browsing, though I don't think it is required.
I think Mozilla has some kind of similar configuration setup in regards to this by default, though don't quote me. I don't have Moz/FF installed on my system so I cannot say for sure.
Though from what I have read, those with Moz/FF installed on the same systems that are having the MSIE problem, Moz/FF works fine.
I just thought I would offer this up as a possible client side fix for those that might not want to mess with their SME setups.
Hope this helps. Cheers and happy holidays.

Hi all,
I just tried loggin onto hotmail at home using IE, and it all seemed ok, the server i'm running in 6.0.1 with upgrades from http://sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/
to get the latest rpm's, and i don't have SP2 installed on my XP machine so that might have something to do with it as well.
just thought i'd let you know.
hope that helps
cheers

Thx you cc_skavenge and joe Cooper for the tips =)

Just let all of you know, setting up Internet Ecplorer on my workstations behind the server with Proxy on port 3128 worked.

Some additional input for the discussion:
I have several sites running sme 6.0.1-01 with proxy, squidguard, and sarg. Hotmail on multiple systems at different sites stopped working at the same time. I suspect MS updates is to blame for this problem as the clients used hotmail with IE without problems prior.
I have also seen login problems with netscape webmail and aol.com webmail....firefox fixed these too.
