How to redirect http request in squid ?
 
Hi,
In squid i have blocked some sites like facebook and youtube.I want to know is there any way when user type in his browser like www.facebook.com instead it show something like following it automatically redirect to www.google.com

Error
The requested URL could not be retrieved
The following error was encountered:
Access Denied.

Basically I want to redirect the http request so the user should not see the page not found error but www.google.com page may open automatically.

thanks
garden

I believe you already configured your squid conf to block certain websites which you want to blacklist.
To redirect, here is quick and not elegant way.
change the content of /etc/squid/errors/ERR_ACCESS_DENIED with following

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Your Page Title</title>
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=http://www.google.com"></HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>


Cheer
