RE: [squid-users] URL QUERY_STRING

Thank you your quick response, can you please expand on your answer? I
found this in the docs:
"Squid by default does not log query parameters. These parameters are
however forwarded to the server verbatim". Is it possible to not have the
query terms forwarded to the server?

Thanks
-Cory

Yes. Squid does not pay any special attention to ? unless instructed to.
A URL is just a URL. See squid.conf.
