This is the first time I've set up squid. It's running a redirect script that does some text search/replace on html pages, and then saves them to a location on the same machine on the nginx path - then issues the redirect to that URL (it's an art project :D).
The relevant lines in squid.conf are
http_port 3128 transparent
redirect_program /etc/squid/jefferson_redirect.py
The jefferson_redirect.py script is based on this script: http://gofedora.com/how-to-write-custom-redirector-rewritor-plugin-squid-python/
The issue:
I'm getting strange http redirect behavior. For example, here is the normal request/response from a PHP script that issues a header("Location:"); - a 302 redirect:

Here's what it looks like when running through the squid proxy (note that "redirector.mysite.com" is not the site running squid or nginx):
http://redirector.mysite.com/?unicmd=g+yreka
GET /?unicmd=g+yreka HTTP/1.1

It is basically working - but the URL http://redirector.mysite.com/?unicmd=g+yreka remains unchanged, while displaying the google page (mostly broken as it's using URLs relative to redirector.mysite.com)
I've experienced a similar thing with google results pages: when clicking to another page from google, I get a google URL, with the other site's content.
Sorry for the long post - many thanks if you've read this far! Any ideas?
