[SQU] Truncated FileMaker Pro Query

I am using Squid 2.2STABLE5 in what is to all intents and purposes a default
configuration. The modifications to the sample configuration file deal with
which proxy to query based on the domain specified in the URL.

I have run into a problem with the following FileMaker Pro query that I
excerpted from the web page.

        <A HREF="http://www-eol2.mtv.gtegsc.com:591/pir/FMPRO?
        -db=PIR%20Database&-Lay=web_new&-Format=pir_new.htm&-View">
        Submit a Process Improvement Request (PIR)</A>

The query is, actually, a single line of text that has been split into three
lines for this message. There are no spaces between the last character of
one line and the first character of the next line.

The problem that occurs is that when a user clicks on the anchor the query
is truncated when the user's browser is configured to use a Squid proxy.
Squid truncates the URL at the end of the "FMPRO?" string and fails to send
the FileMaker Pro command line arguments.

        -db=PIR%20Database
        -Lay=web_new
        -Format=pir_new.htm
        -View"

This results in an Access Denied error being returned. The query functions
correctly when use of proxies is disabled in the browser.

This has been tested with the following combinations.

        Windows98, Netscape 4.75
        Windows98, Internet Explorer 5.5
        WindowsNT, Netscape 4.75
        WindowsNT, Internet Explorer 5.5
        BSD/OS, Netscape 4.75

The problem occurs with earlier versions of the browsers in all of the OS
environments.

What changes need to be made to force the complete URL including arguments
to be passed?
