Re: [squid-users] redirect problem

Well.. it should change to http://web.testing.com:1080/link/

this is Apache adding the missing slash from the directory request.

To work around this issue I always recommend having backend servers run
on the same port number as the "official" service. To do this on the
same machine Bind Squid to the official address and Apache to 127.0.0.1.

If you cannot do this you can try one of these two approaches:
  a) Find out a way to convince the web server to return the "correct"
port number when redirecting the user

  b) Use the "Location rewrite" feature of the rproxy branch
<http://squid.sourceforge.net/rproxy/>. This enables you to have Squid
rewrite the Location before it reaches the client (i.e. similar to the
ProxyPassReverse directive in Apache).
