I have a Squid proxy running on IP 10.x.y.z:3128. The configuration is below. It works correctly on browsers configured to access it.
Now I need for a specific server (ServerA) to be able to access a specific external domain (www.example2.com) using the proxy but without using the proxy for any other requests... I'm not able to use any kind of proxy scripts or do any additional configuration on that server.
I already tried using a redirect_program for that specific domain (shown below).
I configured the following entry on ServerA' hosts file:
10.x.y.z www.example.com
I was expecting that every time an application on ServerA would need to talk to www.example.com it would go through the proxy. And then the redirect program would rewrite the request for the www.example2.com.
But instead I get:
Invalid URL
Some aspect of the requested URL is incorrect.
Some possible problems are:
•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.
Your cache administrator is root.
What am I doing wrong?
