I think thats the Via on the reply coming back, not the request going out.

If that is actually your outgoing Via header *to* Yahoo. Then it says
the message has already been through their service. Thus a loop.

If Yahoo have any machine whose private hostname is "qlproxy" then your
Via header will match that machine (or qlproxy.*.yahoo.com) and again
they will detect a loop.

==> this will be true on whatever the outgoing Via really is from your
"qlproxy" proxies.

==> This is one of several reasons why I keep saying the
visible_hostname is *required* to be a FQDN, not a local one-label name.
And why Squid attempts to validate any auto-detected value in DNS before
using them.


What I'm expecting to see in Ozgur's header is either "localhost" or a
simple one-label name like yours which might match something inside the
private portion of the recipients CDN network.
