Squid proxy server..

Hi all,

Could you please provide us with some pointers? Thank you millions
in advance. We browsed FAQ and User's Guide on your web site
but couldn't find the right solution.

We have Squid 2 proxy server installed and configured to work
behind a firewall. Currently we have a Java program which
make socket connection to the proxy server at port 8080.
We then tried to send Http client request to the proxy server,
such as:

GET /index.html HTTP/1.0
Connection: Keep-Alive
Referer: http://www.sun.com
Accept: image/gif, image/jpeg, */*

We are trying to read the http://www.sun.com/index.html
content from the following Java application, but always got the
following timeout error. We wonder how Netscape brower
sends Http client request to the squid proxy server so that the
squid proxy server will re-generating the Http client request to the
destination URL? Do we do something wrong? Or we send the
wrong Http client request? If that is the case, could you tell us what
the correct Http client requests are? How would one specify which
URL to look at from the sent Http client request to the proxy server?

Thank you once again for any input.

Regards,
    Joseph
