Re: Squid URL Filtering Bypass
In McAfee Web Gateway it is possible to convert GET methods in CONNECT
methods, and after the connection, send the same get packet, without
modification and without cryptography. Even with the get packets
passing through the proxy without cryptography and with the Host field
pointing to a filtered site, the proxy will accept.
I think it is a vulnerability!
See my python code.
