Hi! I'm having the following problem with squid as someone had and alrady wrote about it. So i just copied the message since i have exact the same problem!
No answers where you copied this message?
I have a machine running squid (squid box) and some stations that are supposed to go through the squid box.
When I set the browser of a station to go through the squid box (setting up to go through a proxy informing the IP of squid box and port) everything works just fine. But when I use some iptables redirect rules ("all incoming pkts destinated to port 80, go to port 3128") in the squid box and set that as gateway for the station, to make all the process transparent, any site I try to reach from the station receives de "URL could not be retrieved..." error.
I think that the redirect is working, because the error page that is shown is generated by squid.
What can be wrong? What's the difference between go through a proxy setting up the browser or by redirecting?
Check the transparent proxy howto's. I believe you need to add
* httpd_accel_host virtual
* httpd_accel_port 80
* httpd_accel_with_proxy on
* httpd_accel_uses_host_header onOne copy can be found here: http://www.zeitfenster.de/TransparentProxy/TransparentProxy.html
I prefer automatic proxy config (wpad). It is almost als comfortable as an transparent proxy but easier and more powerful to configure.
