Squid config with Facebook or any http/1.1 website

March 27, 2012 FreeBSD, 0

Recently Facebook start using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol HTTP/1.1, so most of the squid proxy out there might having problem when accessing facebook.com web pages, client web browser will mostly giving out blank pages.

On squid 2.7, add this line to your squid.conf file to enable the HTTP/1.1 Protocol (still on experimental but working) :-

server_http11 on

Then run squid -k reconfigure to refresh squid using the new config and clear the facebook cookies on client web browser.

For squid 3.0, as far as I know there is no http/1.1 support for it, however squid 3.1 have this natively support, but still under development for full http/1.1 compliance.

Done, happy facebooking….
