Having the last 1.4.0 edition of QuintoLabs Content Security installed on your Squid proxy you may experience the “ICAP Protocol error” from your browser. The problem here is qlproxy crushes suddenly while doing content filtering of ICAP traffic coming from Squid. And when Squid can not contact the ICAP server it gives users the “ICAP protocol error” page.
We deeply apologize for the error. Crush investigation revealed a problem in AdBlock module… it has been fixed and new build of qlproxy is going to be released today (3rd October 2011). For now it is recommended to set the icap_enable directive to off in your Squid server and restart it.
