Because it does not have to. If you try to fetch http://www.smh.com.au you
first get the IP-address of www.smh.com.au, which is 203.26.51.42 for me.
Then you connect to that server at port 80. The rest of the request is
getting a local file from the server. And because you want to fetch the
"DocumentRoot" of that server, the correct line is "GET /". Additional the
Host-Header is to distinguish several virtual hosts on the same ip. So squid
does behave correct here.
Your problem is strange, indeed. Have you turned on accelerator mode or
redirection? What about Hendriks question about transparent proxy?
