You should let the user agent determine the expansion - even though they
tend to fwd me to the wrong destination more often than not.

Anyway, if you still insist, you could let Squid append a domain suffix,
see squid.conf.default. But, choosing a .com suffix, and there is no
server http://amazon.com/, you are out of luck.

Alternatively, a redirector (an external program) might yield the desired
output.
