:)Hello,

:)I am having a very odd problem that I cannot understand. I do not know

:)
:) - I have squid working OK on my server, running SuSE Linux 7.1. If I
:) access the proxy directly on port 3128 it workes as it should.
:) - I have set up a firewall with iptables using SuSE's firewall setup
:) routine. Everything on that seems to be fine as well. Well,
:) everyting except ...
:)
:) - I want the firewall to redirect access to port 80 to port 3128 so that
:) users are forced to use the proxy, and can do so without having to
:) change any settings. If I try this, it seems to work, except for the
:) fact that URLs seem to get mangled in the process. As far as I can
:) make out, the URL that squid gets is the original with the domain name
:) removed. It then, understandably, cannot find the page and returns an
:) error. For example, a user tries to look up 'http://domain.name/page'
:) and gets an error back saying cannot find '/page'.
:)
:)Maybe this isn't a squid problem but I have tried asking in other places
:)and no one has been able to help me. If someone could just give me *some*
:)indication of where the fault *might* lie, that would be helpful. Then I
:)could go and hassle the right people. ;-)

:)Thanks,
:)
:)Joe
