I am tring to use squid to cache information from websites. It works fine when I configure it in the web browser setting manualy, but I would like it to work without haveing to set the web browsers. I used this command
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128
So that it forces anything going though port 80 to go though the proxy. For some strange reson when I do this it leave out the domain when I try to connect to websites.
This is basicly what I get.
ERROR

The following error was encountered:
