Hi,
  After looking into my configuration I found that that header is
caused by our redirector process. Then I have added this;
redirect_rewrites_host_header off

and "Host:" field now shows the original url but squid still warn me
about this forwarding loop.
    I have read transparent configuration documents for squid and
iptables but I cant see any special configuration if we use a
redirector. I am reading and reading
but no result yet. Do you have any suggestion ?

Regards.
