How do that do that? You could put <example.foo.com> in a domains file
and redirect to <https://example.foo.com/>, but you've lost the 
remainder of the requested url, haven't you? I remember reading 
something in the change log...

Here are 3 related entries from the change log:

2000-03-27      %f in redirects will expand to file part of the url

1999-08-06      A redirect string now expands %p to the path part of an url.
                So you could do something like this in a url file: 
                ftp.linux.org/kernel/v2 ftp.yournet.com/%p 

1999-08-05      squidGuard will now save case in the url when doing rewrite,
                and the %u macro will now expand to the original url instead
                of the lowercase version

How about that. I had only considered the substitutions listed in the
redirect docs for feeding my .cgi page. Note: The %f variable is not
listed anywhere else; just in the change log.

Thanks for pointing this out!
