Netflix recently changed the format of URLs for US and Canadian CDN used for video streaming 2 . The affected NZ providers are using transparent caching proxies for the Netflix CDN range of IP addresses . They are NOT using these for other IP ranges we tested . 3 . The affected NZ providers are using transparent caching proxies that are set up incorrectly: - They cache content with "no cache" directive in HTTP header (Pragma: no-cache & Cache-Control: no-store) - They ignore query string part of the URL for caching The combination of 1, 2 and 3 has resulted in the Netflix streaming issue . Netflix has started using query string part of the URL to request the movie pieces . Since the content is cached incorrectly, the Netflix player tries to get a fragment of the movie but gets a completely different movie piece from the proxy and shows the error message . Affected ISPs have to reconfigure their proxies to: Take query string into account OR Respect "no cache" directive OR Turn them off for Netflix CDN IP range as caching Netflix streaming does not work anymore . We encourage you to send the above to your ISP - as this is how they can fix the issue . If enough of you speak - then your ISP might do something about it .
