[squid-users] Domains without "www." - Probably silly question ....

[Jakob Curdes]

... maybe this is a dumb one but I do not  see it. We recently 
introduced squid at a customer's site as forward proxy and he says now 
his browsing behavior has changed. Previously, without proxy, he could 
type in a domain without the "www" and get the content. Now if he does 
the same, he gets a squid error. I made sure that for the domain in 
question a web server is active only for www.xyz.com , not for xyz.com 
and no nameserver entries exist for xyz.com. So it seems that the 
Browser is doing some sort of rewriting that does not work when using a 
proxy ?? Browser here is Firefox.

Glad for any hint,
Jakob Curdes
