Surely it is getting the 504 error when it is trying to download the object?

Instead of "missing", try "unavailable".

As far as I know, you can't.  You can configure browsers to use the proxy for 
some requests and go direct for others, but once that choice has been made, 
that's the way the browser will do it.

Anyway, what makes you think the "kid" browser would be able to get the 
object, if the "parent" proxy was unable to?

Have you actually tried downloading such an object direct from a browser 
without using Squid, and found that it is available?

If so, please give us a URL to the object so we can investigate...


regards,


Antony.
