<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am using Squid as an explicit proxy (configured in the browsers) and have configured it to authenticate all users with Kerberos.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here are the relevant bits from squid.conf <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">auth_param negotiate program /usr/lib64/squid/negotiate_kerberos_auth -r -s HTTP/proxytest1.mydomain.com@MYDOMAIN.COM -k /etc/squid/HTTP.keytab<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">auth_param negotiate children 10<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">auth_param negotiate keep_alive on<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know I should be expecting 407s for new TCP connections and pages do load a bit slower compared to Basic Auth.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But that isn’t the problem. The problem is at times some of the web pages resources (GET requests mostly) just hang there endlessly. (Chrome just says pending)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I do a refresh, the browser loads that very same resource(say a .js/.css file) just fine.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is just a test setup and I looked at the negotiate helper stats. Here

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I don’t think they are the problem.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any thoughts on what could be going on here? I don’t have a way to reproduce this reliably so far and this happens intermittently.
