Fixed:
Adding the following to squid.conf seems to have done the trick:

acl hotmail_domains dstdomain .hotmail.msn.com
acl ie6 browser MSIE[[:space:]]6
header_access Accept-Encoding deny ie6 hotmail_domains

Hi. I've got a couple networks running behind servers running Squid (chained to Dansguardian) in transparent accellerator mode. As of about 10 days ago, users running IE cannot login to Hotmail successfully. When they login, they are presented with a white page, with IE's status bar stating "Done" and nothing else. In an attempt to sort out the cause of the problem, I've bypassed Dansguardian and tried connecting to Sqiud directly as a proxy, with the same results. Logging in with Firefox (Windows or Linux) and Konquror works just fine. Does anybody here have any insights into what is going on, or suggestions of how to collect more information about what is going on?

FWIW:
Gentoo w/ 2.6.9 Kernel
Squid 2.5.7
iptables 1.2.11-r3


Thanks,
will
