Squid: curl: (52) Empty reply from server

PROXYsquidtransparent-proxy

I want to set up a public HTTP proxy using Squid. I installed it successfully on Ubuntu 14.04 and just added two lines in /etc/squid3/squid.conf:

http_access allow all
http_port 3120 transparent

However trying to curl MY_SERVER_IP_HERE:3120 ya.ru, I get curl: (52) Empty reply from server. If don't set transparent directive in /etc/squid3/squid.conf, I get The requested URL could not be retrieved error in my browser. What am I doing wrong?

Best Answer

You are hitting your proxy via curl not telling curl to use the proxy.. Try this

http_proxy=http://your.proxy.server:3120/ curl http://ya.ru

You can make it perminate for the session by 

export http_proxy=http://your.proxy.server:3120/
