[squid-users] Squid denying certain URL's?

Hi people,

I tried to download evaluation software from a site
and got the error below. (I'm using squid version 2.4 stable 6
on Mandrake 7.2.)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
While trying to retrieve the URL:
http://www.ipswitch.com/cgi/download_eval.pl

The following error was encountered:

      Connection Failed

The system returned:

    (113) No route to host

The remote host or network may be down. Please try the request again.

I had similar problems when I tried to access sites
where the files were CGI files with ".cgi" extensions.
However, when I removed the "hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ?"
entry from the squid.conf file, I could access these particular
sites.

I suspect if I tried to access .php sites, I may get the same error.

Any reason for this and how do I fix it?

A second question.

Is it possible to set up squid inside a firewall
so that firstly squid does the authentication and then,
secondly, the firewall as well?

This is merely for testing purposes as currently the FW does
the authentication, but I want to move the authentication
to squid.

I suspect not. As far as I can figure out, HTTP is not happy
with dual authentication methods.....
