Re: "Invalid URL syntax"

You are either trying to use Squid as a web-server, badly configured
transparent proxy, or most likely badly configured http accelerator for
www.euronet.be.

Why I say this:
A proxy request looks like
GET http://www.euronet.be/fr/ HTTP/1.0

Whereas your Squid seems to get requests looking like
GET /fr/ HTTP/1.0

This format is how the requests arrive to web servers, which is very
different from proxy requests.

Squid is NOT a web server. It is a HTTP proxy server with a option to
use it as a accelerator in front of a heavily used WWW server.

When using it as a proxy you have to configure the proxy settings in the
browser. See your broser documentation for details on how to do this.

When using it as a accelerator in front of one of your own servers, you
have to tell squid where the backend server is..
httpd_accel your.real.server realport
This tells Squid that if it sees a request in "web-server" format, then
apply the following translation
GET /fr/ HTTP/1.0
===>
GET http://your.real.server:realport/fr/ HTTP/1.0
