[squid-users] /? can Defeat Squid's ACL

Hi,
We use Squid in our school to block offensive websites by using ACLs
(domain names & ip addresses). All works well except if "/?" is added to
the domain name the site is no longer blocked. Eg www.sex.com is blocked
but www.sex.com/? is unblocked. I have included all variations of the
domain name in the ACL but I can not overcome this problem. It means
that students just have to add /? to the domain name to defeat Squid's
ACLs.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks
