Re: [squid-users] pipe characters in URL

Mine says:

1046096606.059 2927 127.0.0.1 TCP_MISS/200 53519 GET
http://www.cfo.com/article/1,5309,8287|14|||,00.html -
DIRECT/64.94.191.3 text/html

Based on your log saying DIRECT/www.cfo.com I can tell you are not using
Squid-2.5. Perhaps upgrading your Squid to a current (and supported on
squid-users) version will help.

Note: If you are using any redirectors then it is possible your problem
is caused indirectly by the redirector. The same also applies to the
anonymiser features of Squid (http_header_access in Squid-2.5, was
another directive in earlier Squid versions).

Some explanation you your log entries:

The first says the URL was forwarded to the web server (TCP_MISS), but
the web server rejected the request giving a "400 Bad request" error
code back to Squid.

The second says that Squid saw another request for the same URL and as
your squid.conf has negative caching of errors enabled it assumed the
error condition is still true and gave this error back as a
TCP_NEGATIVE_HIT..
