Re: [squid-users] How to enable a site without name.

Joe,

        Henrik's "stupidity" comment was directed to the regular
expression used in your redirector, not the redirector approach
itself. Henrik also outlined a possible improvement path for you:
extract the domain name from the URL before applying the regular
expression. An alternative would be do adjust the regular expression
so that it looks at the domain name part of the URL only. The former
is probably better because the code will be more clear.

        In other words, you do not need a different product, you need
to improve yours to make it less trivial to bypass.
