[squid-users] RE: SUMMARY [squid-users] Access denied to localhost!

FWIW,

I have tried this same config with both 2.3STABLE4 (works), and 2.3STABLE5
(doesn't work).
Turns out to be a bug fix in 2.3STABLE5 to do with not allowing proxy
requests in accel only mode.

See:-

http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.3/bugs/#squid-2.3.stable4-accel_onl
y_access

If your request doesn't start with a "/", then squid treats the request as a
proxy request rather than an accel request.
Hence if you request http://a.b.com/something you will fail, but if you
request /something (with "host:a.b.com" in the request header), then it
works.
