Hi,

You can create a file containing the allowed sites like this:

Code:

.google.com
.linuxquestions.org
.squid-cache.org

and then use the following in squid.conf:

Code:

acl allowed_sites dstomain "/path/to/allowed-sites.file"
http_access allow allowed_sites
http_access deny all

I guess that facebook is pulling the stuff that is not loading from some 3rd party URLs. You should look at the squid access.log to find the URLs it denies access and allow them too in your file

You are not going to see any errors. You should see some lines containing a "TCP_DENIED" followed by the URL containing the images or the other stuff that is not loading.
BTW I've looked at facebook pictures, and looks like they are pulled from fbcdn.net, so add that in your file and reload squid to test again
