[squid-users] redirection issue

Greetings,

I have a question, I'm not really sure if it's a squid or iptables
issue. Am running squid 2.4 stable 6 on RHL 7.2 kernel 2.4.7-10.

In order to keep users who aren't supposed to have access to the
Internet in line, I have an IP address acl set up so only those
addresses in the acl can use the proxy. To enforce this, I added an
iptables rule that redirected www traffic to the proxy. What happened
when an allowed user, whose browser wasn't configured to use the proxy,
got caught by the redirect, the request got truncated from
http://www.foo.com to /. Users who have the proxy ip/port settings
specified in their browsers are handled correctly.

Thanks in advance,
