No, it isn't.
This address returns 404:
http://~kol.deviantart.com/
For example heres a page with some of his work:
http://www.deviantart.com/view/28283565/
Then try to click his name (-kol), and there's the problem.
Dig returns:

In this thread,
http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=34&t=426658&s=?
the author do however call him "~Kol" but check out the link "Read this
for more info".
Clicking that link seems to work for the others in that thread but not
for me,
so I suspected Squid to be at fault. (standards or not)
And http://kol.deviantart.com/ is someone else.

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.

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)

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://-kol.deviantart.com/
The following error was encountered:

How can I get squid to accept url's that begins with a minus?
