squid and Frontpage-2000 editor

squid seems to have an interesting issue with the MS Frontpage-2000
editor, which appears to issue POST requests with just a URL path
(no protocol/host component). These are rejected by squid as a bad URL
in urlParse(), which stops Frontpage-2000 dead in the water since it
cannot connect to the website being edited.

A quick hack to detect and reformat such requests in urlParse() lets
FP-2000 work OK, but I'm wondering whether this is really the appropriate
solution - has anyone else seen/got around this behavior of incomplete
POSTs?

[squid 2.1, code seems the same in 2.3]
