[squid-users] passport.com url error with Squid

Hi there,

There following url spits causes an error in Squid:

      https://loginnet.passport.com/ppsecure/md5auth.srf?lc=1033

We get the following error message:

     ERROR
     The requested URL could not be retrieved

      --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      While trying to retrieve the URL: /ppsecure/md5auth.srf?lc=1033

      The following error was encountered: Invalid URL

      Some aspect of the requested URL is incorrect. Possible problems:

           Missing or incorrect access protocol (should be `http://'' or
similar)
           Missing hostname
           Illegal double-escape in the URL-Path
           Illegal character in hostname; underscores are not allowed

The url works when I do not use the proxy. The REALLY weird thing is that if
I hit refresh, the page loads!!!! First attempt always fails with "invalid
url" squid error.

Any ideas why it would fail, yet refreshing or hitting GO a second time
works? All other https sites seem to work.

The url is what pops up when we click the button to check our Hotmail in
MSN/Windows Messenger. But the url also fails when manually typing it in.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Dietrich
