Thanks to Simon for his help off list, it's now working. I had to put
the url in as "joker.com" instead of/in addition to ".joker.com".

The strange part is I did a little bit of playing around and noticed
that I can access urls such as http://6texans.net if I have the line
".6texans.net" in my unblock file, but I am not able to access
https://6texans.net. To access an https site with a url of the type
https://something.tld (minus the"www"), I can't have a "." in front of
it in my unblock file.

This seems a little inconsistent for it to work one way with http and
another for https, doesn't it? Or am I just misunderstanding how Squid
works?

Thanks,
Jacob
