Ok, that means that you are using IE, which version?
What happen if you enable http/1.1 and http/1.1 extensions? even for 
proxies?

When you get a red X, how does the image in rabbits cache look like?
(Get another client to access the admin pages and inspect the cache).

I know that there have been some problems with using a browser cache
with mixed compressed/uncompressed content. I do not see that however.
(but then I do not use rabbit much theese days, since my slowest net 
connection
is 2.5 Mb).

What does the access log output? how many bytes were written?

If you can find a repetable test where this happens I would like to 
know. If
you also can snoop the network traffic I would be reallly glad (use 
ethereal or
the HTTPSnoopFilter in rabbit).

Seems like the client sends a conditional request or a range request and
rabbit returns something unexpected.

Any special site that this happens on?
Any repetable test case?

That could be a problem where rabbit believes that the connection
is persistent and sends a second request but the web server closes the 
connection.
(Note that writing the request succeds so rabbit is quite convinced that 
the connection
is open. RabbIT ought to handle closes here so it is only a warning, its 
allowed behaviour).

Sorry for not being able to help more, but give me more information and 
Ill see
what I can do.
