He was asking if you have "transparent interception proxy" setup. You
said no.

IE is apparently not working properly. When configured with a proxy it
should be passing HTTP to the proxy in proxy format. It is passing HTTP
to the proxy in a different format which is only safely used on port 80.

In particular the format sent lacks the "http://" part of URL and Squid
is unable to determine whether it is an HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, Gopher or some
other internal request.
