[squid-users] Squid Kernel 2.4.20 & WCCP

I just built a squid proxy server using Redhat 9, squid-2.5.STABLE1-2,
Kernel 2.4.20-19.9

I patched the RH kernel with the ip_wccp-2_4_18.patch from Vissolve and
squid with the wccpv2 patch. I am using IP tables to redirect port 80
to port 8080 of the squid server. I have confirmed squid and the port
redirection is working by configuring my browser to use the squid server
as its proxy at port 80. The browser works fine this way.

However, when my Cisco 7206VXR router redirects traffic via wccp to the
squid box the URL's are broken when the squid server receives them. See
the squid access log below. It looks like the first part of the URL is
truncated. i.e. " http://www.yahoo.com/player/historylog.asp " gets cut
to " /player/history.asp?............. " when squid receives it. Then
squid sends a "malformed URL" message to the client browser. BTW, I get
the same results with version 1 or version 2 of wccp configured.

Any help would be very much appreciated.
