Hi Amos,

So, you think the URL Squid complains about is returned by our ICAP service?
As far as I understood the log messages, the URL was not sent to the
ICAP service at all.
Or am I wrong here?

Yeah, that's clear. My problem is, that the service is suspended.
If there are real problems within the communication with the ICAP
service, it should be bypassed.
