Please note that there exists two flavors of "redirects" from redirectors

a) Rewritten URL, causing Squid to fetch another URL than the URL
requested by the client

b) Browser redirects, asking the client to fetch another URL than the

In most redirectors browser redirects are done by rewriting the URL to
include a suitable HTTP redirect status before the url such as
302:http://...
