[squid-users] I thought transparent proxying wasn't working. No, it's something different...

I set up a transparent proxy. Testing:

# http_proxy=172.16.42.127:3128 wget -c http://www.ilyichevsk.net
        access.log:
1043831883.103 70 172.16.42.177 TCP_HIT/200 19955 GET http://www.ilyichevsk.net/ ...

so this works.

# http_proxy= wget -c http://www.ilyichevsk.net
        access.log:
1043831679.469 25 172.16.42.177 NONE/400 1451 GET / - NONE/- text/html [] [HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request...

This does not.

Let's see the details:

# http_proxy=172.16.42.127:3128 wget -c http://www.ilyichevsk.net

As you can see, wget sends different HTTP requests with and without
http_proxy environment variable. Seems like squid dislike this request:
GET /
User-Agent: Wget/1.7
Host: www.ilyichevsk.net
Accept: */*
Connection: Keep-Alive

Why???!!

P.S. I verified that with telnet too.
