Hi guys

I'm trying to get an HTTP request to pass through but it seems Squid
is generating a redirect.
With curl the request works fine if I don't use our proxy:

visser_at_lenin:~$ curl -vv --noproxy '*' --header 'Host:
rest.akismet.com' --data
'key=aaaaaaaaaaaa&blog=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.refeds.org'
http://66.135.58.61/1.1/verify-key

When sent through Squid, the same request gives a redirect (301):

* About to connect() to proxy proxy6.terena.org port 80 (#0)
* Trying 2001:610:148:dead::20... connected
* Connected to proxy6.terena.org (2001:610:148:dead::20) port 80 (#0)

</body>
</html>
* Connection #0 to host proxy6.terena.org left intact
* Closing connection #0

I suspect this has something to do with name resolution, but I can't find what.
Any ideas?

Thanks!!!
