RE: [squid-users] Illegal character in hostname!

Hi,
A few days ago I saw a post similar to that one here on the list, I think it
was about yahoo.
The solution used was, I think, to configure squid to also accept
connections in the port indicated on the URL.
In this case it would be 9091.
It might work

Regards,

Bruno Guerreiro

Hi,

I have the same problem with all of my squid installations.

The following is an excerpt from the access-log-file:

xx - - [09/Apr/2001:17:40:56 +0200] "GET
http://mshias04:9091mshias04:9091 HTTP/0.0" 400 1191 NONE:NONE
xx - - [09/Apr/2001:17:40:56 +0200] "GET
http://mshias04:9091mshias04:9091 HTTP/0.0" 400 1191 NONE:NONE
xx - - [09/Apr/2001:17:40:56 +0200] "GET
/scripts/cms/CmsInit.ASP?ID=1&D2=Q`o@Cs????@??&AW=167&LV=2045&CU=31166414
HTTP/0.0" 400 1304 NONE:NONE
xx - - [09/Apr/2001:17:41:06 +0200] "GET
http://mshias04:9091mshias04:9091 HTTP/0.0" 400 1191 NONE:NONE
xx - - [09/Apr/2001:17:41:06 +0200] "GET
http://mshias04:9091mshias04:9091 HTTP/0.0" 400 1191 NONE:NONE
xx - - [09/Apr/2001:17:41:06 +0200] "GET
/scripts/cms/CmsInit.ASP?ID=1&D2=Q`o@Cs????@??&AW=167&LV=2045&CU=31176479
HTTP/0.0" 400 1304 NONE:NONE

This happens all 10 seconds, when the computer with the ip xx is online.
The program, which generates those requests is Babylon, the online
translator...
When Babylon is stopped, no more requests like those are generated.

It sends requests to an unknown server, using the proxy-settings of IE.
Squid replies with the error code "Invalid URL => Missing Hostname".

At the moment, we don't have a workaround except stopping Babylon....
