Re: HTTP Redirector: Send To Requested Web Server

Hello,

I am STILL puzzled by the HTTP Redirector. Does this effectively
disable the cache for ALL clients? I have enabled this setting and it
DOES resolve an authentication problem I had with a particular site.

On page 531 of "ISA Server 2000: Building Firewall for Windows 2000"
(Shinder), we get the following: "Use this option if you NEVER want
SecureNAT and Firewall Clients to access the web proxy service for HTTP
requests". Fair enough.

My understanding of  the isaserver.org article "Configuring Web Proxy
Clients for Direct Access" is that this option merely "ALLOWS" clients
to bypass the cache (rather than prevents them for accessing it):
http://www.isaserver.org/tutorials/Configuring_Web_Proxy_Clients_for_Direct_Access.html

All my workstations have the Firewall Client loaded. I "reset" the ISA
Cache and expected it to remain empty. Files are starting to reapper.
How can this be?

Sincere apologies if this is a daft question, but the penny just has
not dropped.

You must also configure web browser clients not to use a proxy server if you want all access to be direct.

Turning off the HTTP Redirector only prevents ISA from transparently proxying non-proxy HTTP requests (ie secureNAT and Firewall Client direct HTTP requests). Proxy requests from a browser are unaffected.
