I have done a reverse proxy with an Apache in the background (on the same server). All works great but I can't open one page.

I get the error "The request or reply is too large."

In my cache.log contains:

2010/12/09 15:28:29| WARNING: http.c:971: HTTP header too large
2010/12/09 15:29:03| ctx: enter level  0: 'http://server/admin/cms/nav'
2010/12/09 15:29:03| httpProcessReplyHeader: Too large reply header
2010/12/09 15:29:03| ctx: exit level  0

In my squid.conf i disabled the limitations of the request and reply header, without success:

reply_body_max_size 0 allow all
request_body_max_size 0

Does someone know why that don't work?

Thank you very much.
