Connection issue of the Inps software EMENS (Italy Only) - Solution

[Sergio-87]

Hi,
This post is valid only for Italy.

If you have had connection errors with the software EMens ( released
by INPS) , connecting via squid 2.7, you should insert the parameter
"ignore_expect_100 on" in your squid.conf. The software works fine
with the previous squid versions.

Hope this can help !

cheers,

This should be reported to the authors of that EMens software as well as
it's clearly a bug in that software failing to deal with 417 Expectation
Failed errors in response to Expect: 100-continue. The correct action by
the client is then to retry the request without the expectation, and
with just a relatively short POST timer if any.
