Re: [squid-users] squidGuard and Proxy forwarding

OOPS,
There is not the line always_direct in the squid.conf.....

Just to be more clear, here is how squid seems to work:

 - the URL is sent to squid,
 - squid send the URL to squidGuard (for the ACLs)
 - squidGuard sebd back to squid the URL, or a redirected page or a deny
access
 - Then squid always send the original URL to the parent proxy
(netscape)

the last action should be :
 - squid sent the new URL (the URL returned by squidGuard), if
squidGuard return a deny, squid should sent the deny page to the client.

for testing purpose,
I replaced squidGuard by my own script, which send to syslog all
received request and always send back to squid an fixed URL. In that
case, I can see that squid realy send a request to my script, but send
to netscape the original URL (not the from-my-script URL)
