Fwd: [squid-users] Cache_Peer Question (Newbie)

Hi,

The request you posted is a request that should be addressed to a web
server, not to a proxy server.

Perhaps you want your squid to be an http accelerator? If this is the
case, and if you are running squid 2.6 you should have something like:

http_port 80 virtual

(check squid.conf.default, as it should have proper documentation).

You may want to have cache_peer_access configured as well.

Have a look at http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ReverseProxy

HTH,
