I can upload the file to my Apache web server using Curl just fine:
echo "[$(date)] file contents." | curl -T - http://WEB-SERVER/upload/sample.put
However, if I put a Squid proxy between them, then I cannot:
echo "[$(date)] file contents." | curl -x http://SQUID-PROXY:3128 -T - http://WEB-SERVER/upload/sample.put
Curl reports the following error:
Note. This error response was in HTML format, but I removed the tags for readability.
ERROR: The requested URL could not be retrieved
ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved
While trying to retrieve the URL:
http://WEB-SERVER/upload/sample.put
The following error was encountered:
Unsupported Request Method and Protocol
Squid does not support all request methods for all access protocols.
For example, you can not POST a Gopher request.
Your cache administrator is root.
My squid.confone doesn't seem to have an ACL / rule that should be forbidden based on IP addresses srcor dst, or protocol, or HTTP method... as I can do HTTP POSTjust fine between the same client and the web server, with the same proxy that is in between.
