Squid error; zero sized reply.

    Hello all-
    I need help. I am not great at wordpress- I’m just a photographer with a site, I’ve installed prophoto 5 as my theme- I’ve never had issues with my site for the last 4 or 5 years. All of a sudden a few days ago, while trying to upload photos to a blog post and publish- I kept getting a “server unexpectedly dropped” error. I left it alone and decided to try again a few days later. That was yesterday, with the same thing still happening, I called my hosting company (godaddy… ) and after two days on the phone with them they are telling me it’s not hosting, that it’s my wordpress site somewhere. They think it’s in the cache. Please excuse my ignorance- because I don’t know what most of this means. I keep getting this error: “ERROR

    The requested URL could not be retrieved

    The following error was encountered while trying to retrieve the URL: http://davetreephotography.com/blog/wp-admin/edit.php

    Zero Sized Reply

    Squid did not receive any data for this request.

    Every time I try to post now… what is happening and how do I fix it!? I thank you in advance for any advice!

    Your best bet might be to contact Godaddy support (again). There probably isn’t much you can do yourself, regarding any proxy server issues they might be having.

    I have contacted godaddy support three times over the last two days- they said the issue is with the wordpress site and not their servers?

    It’s not likely that WordPress is causing any issue with a squid caching proxy server.

    Are you using Chrome browser by any chance, and if so, does the symptom appear if you use any other browser?

    I’ve tried with Safari and Chrome- getting the same error message every time. I have asked their support so many times why it’s saying it’s a server error if it were my site- they just keep telling me it’s a caching plugin on my site that’s screwing everything up.

    Some information for reference: squid-cache wiki > Why do I sometimes get “Zero Sized Reply”?

    [edit] have you had a chance to try disabling your plugins for troubleshooting purposes to see if the symptom changes?

    I’ve disabled the caching plugins. I can try to disable them all. I’m on hold for support with godaddy for the fourth time…

    Okay- I’m more stuck than before. Here’s what’s up. Still getting this:
    ERROR

    I’ve tried renaming caching plugins, disabling plugins, everything is updated in my wordpress… I’ve tried on my desktop, my laptop and my cell phone, on safari and chrome, on four different internet services. I get the squid error EVERY TIME. I’ve contacted 4 godaddy tech people, one wordpress developer/designer, and my theme tech people- none of them have been able to duplicate the error doing the same thing I’ve been doing. Please help me! I have to have my blog going- it’s my business. How do I resolve this? I have reached out to the company that does the squid proxy thing, but no one is answering.

    also want to mention that I have another wordpress blog on the same exact hosting plan- that I am able to log into and post on just fine- I even posted the images I’m having trouble posting on the other one just in case. It works normal. This other blog does not have the prophoto theme.
