Hi Paracelsius, thanks for the comment. What we ended up doing was to change the firewall rules to forward all calls to our domain straight out, instead of passing through the proxy server. This worked. I will need to make changes to our application to handle proxy servers for future problems. Thanks for the help, here's 500 points for you ;)<br />

Hi Martin<br />
<br />
Thanks a lot.<br />
<br />
Indeed instead of using an application layer gateway (squid) you can forward the packets using DNAT to the server.<br />

Hi There guys. Here's my problem. Our rich client java application uses web services to communicate to our web server. At one of our clients, they run a squid proxy on Linux. When a web service gets called, it seems that the squid proxy returns a error message 'Error 400 - Bad Request'. I did some digging around, and found that the squid proxy does not handle relative url's, but only absolute url's, and that's the reason for the apparent 'Error 400'. Seeing that we cannot change our application at this point, is there a way to configure squid to ignore this? Maybe some other work-around suggestion?<br />
<br />
thanks alot,<br />

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
