I'm sure this one has been asked and I just couldn't find the answer.
I'm trying to access my squid proxy through IE but I am unable to specify the proxy through internet options and need to specify it one the address bar as shown
http://192.168.0.2:3128/www.google.com
Now, I know I'm getting a connection to the proxy because it's replying with the error below. I've tried different browsers (IE, Lynx) and get the same result. If anyone can provide my with a way to configure squid (if it’s even possible) to work in this manner or even an alternate solution would be appreciated.
Cheers
Joe
