Re: [squid-users] URL could not be retrieved

Thanks for input. I have managed to get it functioning by using a conf file from alternate proxy. Looks like the difference is in the http_port line. To get this working it needed 'transparent'. Originally I did not put this in because the firewall was directing port 80 traffic to 3128 on the proxy box (evidently causing the issue with the broken url). We have a lot of 'frozen' desktops that are using the firewall as gateway and this can not be changed easily, so the rule was put in to send port 80 to 3128 on proxy, then allow proxy box outside access.
