Probably, a RewriteCond or RewriteRule used in an attempt to prevent
someone from obtaining a listing of the directory. It's looking at
{REQUEST_URI} and matching on ^.*/$.

If you use the URL http://www.vatlogic.com that was listed in Bugzilla,
you will getting the following results.

   (1) The page will be successfully displayed if you bypass squid.
   (2) 403 Forbidden is returned if you go through squid.

If you use the URL http://www.vatlogic.com/, you will get a 403 status
regardless of whether you go direct or use squid.

What's really cute is that the following URL will actually work.

        http://www.vatlogic.com/?o

The parameter will get thrown away.
