Re: [squid-users] The requested URL could not be retrieved: invalid url

It shouldn't be this difficult. I mean, I setup ransaprent proxies in a matter
of minutes these days.

Yes, transparent proxying support needs to be compiled in for
your architecture.

So. To make this quick and painless:

* which os
* squid version 3.0, ok
* squid config, sans comments
* ip firewalling/redirection rules.

I'll take what we work through and fix whatever bugs are causing
this to not work, and put in some documentation so others aren't
caught out.
