<div>I want to have users access squid directly from a URL like this:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><a href="http://my.squidserver.org:3128/testurl">http://my.squidserver.org:3128/testurl</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Rather than by setting a proxy in their browser. Then I want squid to rewrite the URL “my.squidserver.org” to the site I want users to access. The reason I want to do this is in order to access ONLY a certain research database through the proxy server,
not all HTTP requests.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When I set up squid to do url rewriting, everything works, if I configure my browser to use my proxy server. However, when I try to access squid directly like mentioned above, it refuses to try to rewrite the URL. Squid just sends back an error like
this:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<p style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; color: rgb(30, 30, 30); font-size: 12px; widows: 1;">
The following error was encountered while trying to retrieve the URL: /testurl</p>
<blockquote id="error" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; color: rgb(30, 30, 30); font-size: 12px; widows: 1;">
<p><b>Invalid URL</b></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; color: rgb(30, 30, 30); font-size: 12px; widows: 1;">
Some aspect of the requested URL is incorrect.</p>

<div>Is what I’m trying to do even possible? If so, how do I fix my problem?</div>

<div>Thanks in advance,</div>
