[squid-users] Transparent proxying

Hey everyone,
Transparent proxying still got me stumped!.
I installed via a rpm so I didn't specify any options during the
'configure' of the makefile.

Again, I can access web sites perfectly fine if I specify the proxy ip
and port in the web browser but when I use transparent proxying by the
firewall:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $INTERFACE -p tcp --dport 80 -j
REDIRECT --to-port 8080

I get this error in the browser:

ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved

------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------

While trying to retrieve the URL: /WORLD/africa/archive/

The following error was encountered:

Invalid URL
Some aspect of the requested URL is incorrect. Possible problems:

Missing or incorrect access protocol (should be `http://'' or similar)
Missing hostname
Illegal double-escape in the URL-Path
Illegal character in hostname; underscores are not allowed
Your cache administrator is root.

Does anyone know whats wrong?

Any help is appreciated.
