Thanks for the explanation. This means that the information on
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.4/cfgman/url_rewrite_program.html
is not correct since url= and rewrite-url are not optional.
I suggest to update this page to include that the result
   "OK"
is meant for "no URL modification / PASS".

Thanks
