Hello ,

I am using Fedora Core 9.0 and Squid Cache: Version 3.0.STABLE2 .

Now i am trying to use the squid as a proxy server but its not working its giving error like this ...

While trying to retrieve the URL: /

The following error was encountered:

Invalid URL
Some aspect of the requested URL is incorrect. Possible problems:

Missing or incorrect access protocol (should be `http://'' or similar)
Missing hostname
Illegal double-escape in the URL-Path
Illegal character in hostname; underscores are not allowed
Your cache administrator is root.



Here is my squid.conf
