Hi.
I've been trying to goto this url: http://-kol.deviantart.com/
but squid does not let me, I get this error: (in Firefox)
The requested URL could not be retrieved

The symbol that you see in front of "kol.deviantart.com" is not a minus
sign. It is a tilde. It is not part of the host name. The tilde is
used on the deviantART web pages as a device to indicate that the
following string is a link to a web site. It may, also, be used to
hinder "bots" from trolling the site.
In this case it isn't. I've never used that site before but there
really is a '-kol.deviantart.com'! I only know because Opera gets
there, it appears to resolve to 69.28.181.43 (I had to use a packet
capture to get that as none of the DNS tools will play ball with it -
quite rightly so).
As I said before - tell the site owner to correct it, plain and simple
it is wrong.
HTH,
Neil.
