Using the lines above, I get something *really* strange: the host name
is stripped off the URL!

For example,

        http://www.os2ss.com/warpcast/

becomes

        949068432.886 1 192.168.0.2 NONE/400 1087 GET /warpcast/ - NONE/- -

This is with Squid v2.2S5 on a RedHat 6.0 system /w 2.2.14 kernel.

I've had Squid working great as a configured (non-transparent) proxy
for a couple of months. After adding the above rules to my firewall
script (no errors shown on execution), I changed my browser config
from using a proxy to "Direct connect to Internet" (i.e. port 80).
Doing a tail on access.log I get lines like the above: URLs with no
host name.

Squid is definitely getting my browser's request, but in a mangled
form. Any idea on what's going on?

Thanks.
