Hello all,
I'm attempting to configure a transparent proxy on my lan.
Default gateway and proxy reside on the same machine.
I issued the following iptables command:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080
where interface eth0 is the one that gateways internal clients.
I receive a stupid message by squid caused by incorrect URL syntax.
It seems that getting an URL such as:
http://www.google.it/search?sourceid=navclient <http://www.google.it/search?sourceid=navclient&hl=it&ie=UTF-8&q=foobar> &hl=it&ie=UTF-8&q=foobar
reach Squid layer as
/search?sourceid=navclient&hl=it&ie=UTF-8&q=foobar
Missing of the protocol and host part!
How is it possible?
This is a tipical proxy request You have to configure squid to accept HTTP requests with partial URIs.

Thanks Emilio C.
