RE: [squid-users] Transparent HTTP changes to HTTPS

Marking packets is done by IPTables
All port 80 traffic is sent to the proxy with a mark on it.

Failure is observed when a user attempts to purchase online.
Session starts at HTTP site then gets redirected on that site to an
HTTPS url
After a time the session fails - "Cannot not find server or DNS error"

So, session is established and allowed then, in same session the port
changes to 443.
When this happens the session fails.

Some times the user can refresh and/or go "back" then "forward" and the
connection is restored.

It feels like a cache problem? But not always.

 What do you mean by 'mark' ?
 Which software or whatever tool at the gateway does this ?
 So basic : how is this marking 'organized' ?

  When it does not work ?
  How is this observed ?
  Which errors e.g. are seen ?
