Error message: Squid Proxy Server (Zero Sized Reply)

< Back to Target Skills

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.targetskills.net/home/scripts/blankmenu.asp, the following error was encountered:

  • Zero Sized Reply
  • Squid did not receive any data for this request.
  • Your cache administrator is webmaster.

Why do I sometimes get 'Zero Sized Reply'?

This happens when Squid makes a TCP connection to an origin server but for some reason, the connection is closed before Squid reads any data. Depending on various factors, Squid may be able to retry the request again. If you see the 'Zero Sized Reply' error message, it means that Squid was unable to retry, or that all retry attempts also failed.
