[squid-users] Squid 6 with ssl-bump doesn't cache binary content over 100 kb

Hello everyone,



My team and I are working on setting up a squid with ssl-bump to cache binary content (jpeg, png, pdf and json) on a remote site over HTTPS.

The size of the binary content can vary from a few dozen KB to several hundred MB.



We had a working HTTP configuration under squid 3.14, but for security reasons, all our links must now go through HTTPS.



We've tried configuring Squid 5 and Squid 6, but the behavior described below is the same for both versions of the tool.



In fact, we're seeing 200/TCP_MISS_ABORTED codes for content larger than around 100kb.

When content sizes are smaller, the expected behaviour occurs and data is returned from the cache.



On the client side, for content larger than 100kb :

  *   squid 5 returns x-cache = "MISS" and x-cache-lookup = "HIT".
  *   squid 6 returns cache-status = "url;detail=match", which is equivalent if my understanding is correct.



We first thought it might be linked to the following bug: https://bugs.squid-cache.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5214, which encouraged us to try version 6, but without success.



  *   Is it a configuration problem that we missed?
  *   Can you help us ?
