No, because the proxy is squid and is running on localhost.
So i was trying to check squid running at localhost (127.0.0.1) whether
it'll accept requests for other websites. It does because i configured
squid to be a proxy for 127.0.0.1 :-)

/proxycheck -vv -d www.squid-cache.org:80 -c chat:"GET
/mailing-lists.html HTTP/1.0":"HTTP/1.1 200 OK" -p hc:3128 127.0.0.1

Okay, going doing a telnet to localhost 3128
and then i type:

GET /mailing-lists.html HTTP/1.0

I get to see that page from squid-cache.org, but when i do it with the
command above i only see error messages, like forbidden.
So squid is working nicely and proxying for me, but with proxycheck it
doesnt want to do it. What am i doing wrong?
Bye,

Mipam.
