Hello,

I am running squid Version 2.4.STABLE6 (debian). When I hit the
transparent proxy server, it inserts garbage characters at the beginning
and end of webpages that clients are viewing. These characters are
typically 1FEE at the beginning and always 0000 at the end. This seems to
apply only to Windows 2000 IE 6.0.2800.1106 (maybe others), and not to
Mozilla on Linux. And it doesn't happen on every website. These websites
(among others) are effected:
http://www.aviationweather.gov
http://www.squid-cache.org/cgi-bin/swish-query.cgi
http://www.google.com/search
http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_gen_top.php

Uneffected:
http://www.google.com
http://directory.google.com
http://www.pricegrabber.com

And once the page is "poisoned" with the garbage characters by hitting a
search page (e.g. google.com), from then on the static pages on google.com
also have those garbage characters.

Here are my uncommented options in squid.conf, followed by the HTML source
of a webpage with the garbage characters. Please let me know if you've
ever seen this and hopefully a solution. Thanks!
