Most clients these days will do so regardless of their version.
defaultsite is completely optional, in your case if you omit it broken
clients will get the squid "invalid request" error page instead of tomcat
front page
If I insert 'defaultsite', I think so for HTTP/1.0 clients :
host header (http://pages.example.com) is present in the request, but I
think the http packet contains "GET command" with the complete URL (e.g.
http://pages.example.com/mkLista.do?code=A) so they will be able to ask
correct url.
Why do you say "... instead of tomcat front page" ?
"Tomcat front" page appears only you request http://pages.example.com.

I'm using Squid in accelerator mode (Version 2.7.STABLE3).
I'm using this config:

no-digest
acl LIST dstdomain pages.example.com
http_access allow LIST
cache_peer_access ITS allow LIST
cache_peer_access ITS deny all
I can to describe my environment:
We give this public site "mysite.example.com" (having this IP
72.43.22.19:80) where users can view 4 links. If you pass by mouse in
front
of this 4 links you can see: 1st link
http://pages.example.com/mkLista.do?code=A
2nd link http://pages.example.com/mkLista.do?code=B
3rd link http://pages.example.com/mkLista.do?code=C
4th link http://pages.example.com/mkLista.do?code=D
'pages.example.com' is resolved as IP address of Squid, that is
72.43.22.19;
this is a way to route requests to Squid accelerator (Squid is both on
extern. and on intern. network) which accelerates to 10.1.1.2 (internal
server).
I'd like accelerating ONLY these 4 links but I have no one 'defaultsite',
infact pages.example.com points to 'Apache Tomcat' default page;
accelerated
server gives only these 4 objects.
I read HTTP/1.0 requests don't send 'Host' header so if I omit
'defaultsite', clients will get an "Invalid request" error.
I can't understand if I have to insert defaultsite=pages.example.com in
this
case or not.
Now I'm working fine without this option but I have doubts if requests of
HTTP/1.0 clients can be accelerated.
