There is zero interaction between Squid and javascript or any other
content in the page. Squid only deals with the HTTP mime headers before
the content starts.
  This is either a javascript problem with the content coming out of
ud.redirect (whatever that is I could not be bothered reading the 770KB
of code in that page), or the followup response redirecting back again.
