If you use a browser , for that site, which by what browser do
as design will load the start page for that site.
But squid does not know what a webpage is only browsers know about webpages.

If you do for instance

  % wget http://www.bbc.co.uk/

you will not see that behavior.
As for squid which treats all urls the same there is no difference between
:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/
and http://www.bcc.co.uk/start.gif

and hence since they are just url's for squid, they are handled and logged
in the same manner.

The log format is described in :
