[squid-users] Google Chrome reports "Too many redirects" on ssl-dumped connections with LA Times News Website

[Jeffrey Merkey]

I have done extensive testing and have been able to recreate this
error reliably on both Chrome and Firefox with or without squid loaded
or installed.    I have determined that it is not a bug in Squid, and
it also does not appear to be a bug in the browser but some sort of
problem with websites involved.

Most notable I have seen it not only on the LA Times Website but also
the Social Security website as well among others.   It appears to be a
side effect of some sort of spyware or adware on the websites
involved.

Since it can be recreated with or without squid and it occurs with
more than one browser it is clearly not a bug in Squid, c-icap, or the
browsers.
