[squid-users] Problem with Backslash

Hi Guys,

We have an application that updates and grabs a manifest xml file from a
web server. When it makes the request, it has been hard coded to use
\MANIFEST.XML at the end of the address.

The application that calls this URL does not run through Internet
Explorer so it won't correct the backslash. When this URL is passed to
Squid it comes back with a 404 error. This is because the URL should
actually reference /MANIFEST.XML. The application is a government
application and "can't be changed"!

Is there a way to make Squid parse all backslashes in URLs as
forwardslashes???

Any help would be appreciated!

 
Cheers,
