IE has the tendency to not show the errors that are being
generated by the remote server or by the proxy, but to replace it
with its own error message. You can turn that off somewhere,
I believe, which would make trouble shooting a *lot* easier.

Do a search on Google on 'any-subject problem' and see how many
hunderds of messages there are saying that "any-subject" doesn't work
Anyway there was a bug in several versions of netscape 4.x
If you had both a normal proxyserver defined and an SSL proxy
server the latter wouldn't work in certain situations.
See http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/199808/msg00014.html
But that was not a bug in Squid.

Simpler, no. Performing 50 times worse, yes.
