Hi Antony,
I found where was the issue,
Actually access given to the site was based on LDAP group membership when
user try to launch recording from site, the .wax file will be played from
local machine IP , which is getting blocked.
created ACL to allow specific ip to access the Site and it worked.
Thank for point to direction to review log file
Thanks & Regards

Hi Team.
We are having squid deployed for users which work well for browsing
internet. Recently we received complaint from some users who access one of
the vendor URL to listen audio recordings.
The procedure they follow as
login to Vendor portal URL via squid proxy
select recording option
select recording , it will get downloaded as .wax file
user open .wax file in media player after which they get error message as
unable to play media.
I checked the .wax file which contains link to media file on their same
portal URL. but window media player cant access it.
Not sure what is wrong here. I traced squid access logs and able to see
the request going to vendor portal but still window media player cant play
this file
Need urgent help if anyone work on this kind of requirement.
Thanks & Regards
Nilesh Suresh Gavali

What type of URL is it? HTTP? HTTPS? Something else?

Which request?
The browser request for the .wax file, or the media player request for the
actual media file?
> but still window media player cant play this file
It basically sounds as though either:
- Windows media player is trying to access a URL directly without going
through the proxy, or
- Windows media player is requesting a URL type which Squid can't handle
Tell us what URLs you're seeing in the access log, and what URL is
contained
in the .wax file - that might give us more of a clue.

Sorry to bring this back up, but every now and then (few days) I need to
restart squid because its CPU usage goes up to 100% for a long time
(irresponsive).
Right before restarting Squid:
# free [11/07/17 11:18:52]
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 32865056 14811320 1374212 157028 16679524 17557656
Swap: 37036988 287320 36749668
# squidclient mgr:info [11/07/17 11:18:52]
# squidclient mgr:mem [11/07/17 11:19:02]
# squidclient mgr:storedir [11/07/17 11:19:22]
# squidclient mgr:filedescriptors [11/07/17 11:19:42]
# squidclient mgr:events [11/07/17 11:20:12]
In other words, squidclient does not get any info from squid (waited max
30 seconds - maybe I need to wait more).
I also dumped an strace here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yed-sNWrc6KBQSOV7KPbrYOForwwtkCe/view?usp=sharing
You probably won't be able to draw any conclusions so I'll try to update
to squid-3.5.27-20171101-re69e56c (I'm now running
3.5.27-20170916-re69e56c).
Note that stopping Squid with:
/usr/sbin/squid -k shutdown -f /etc/squid/squid.conf -n squid
takes a LONG time, but it eventually does stop (the process dies out).
I can then restart it cleanly.
I don't need to kill the pid (unless I'm told to hurry up).
After checking the log I can see these messages:
2017/11/07 11:16:59 kid1| WARNING! Your cache is running out of
filedescriptors
2017/11/07 11:16:59 kid1| comm_open: socket failure: (24) Too many open
files
Now, you can notice that the max_filedescriptors is quite high, and was
set correctly before and after the issue I'm reporting:
# tail -n 100000 /var/log/squid/cache.log | grep -i descript
2017/11/06 06:36:14 kid1| With 32768 file descriptors available

So I'm worried that 32768 may not be enough.
Is this weird, or should I really increase this value?
Thanks,
Vieri
