Re: [SQU] Transparant proxy question

It is - because you havn't explicitly set a proxy server, the browser will
be doing a dns lookup first for the domain so it can (it thinks) connect
directly. If this fails, then the MS auto-search comes into play. When
you set a proxy in the browser options, it hands the URL over to the proxy
server without checking it, so then you get squid's error.

The transparent proxying works well => I can see the http request in the
cache.log.

doesn't the squid http page open which tells me that squid couldn't find
the URL (this is only if I use non transparent proxying).
