Re: [squid-users] redirection issue

The request is not truncated, it is simply a request directed to the
origin web server, not the proxy. The request format for a proxy is
different from that for a origin web server.

See the Squid FAQ for information on how to configure Squid for
transparent interception of HTTP traffic.
