But squid does not know what a webpage is only browsers know about webpages. If you do for instance % wget http://www.bbc.co.uk/ you will not see that behavior. As for squid which treats all urls the same there is no difference between : http://www.bbc.co.uk/ and http://www.bcc.co.uk/start.gif and hence since they are just url's for squid, they are handled and logged in the same manner. The log format is described in : http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-6.html#ss6.6 M.
