Absolutely.  However, I'm not sure that returning an error message to
the end-user is the appropriate response?  I don't know of ANY other
web proxy which fails in this manner.

There are quite a few web servers which are non-RFC-compliant in this
manner, and so we get dozens of complaints from internal customers
when they get a evil looking firewall error message just accessing
'drudgereport.com' (try leaving it up on your screen to auto-refresh).

Our workaround has been to use proxy.pac to direct specific known-bad
web sites to be processed through squid, but this is not a long-term
solution, due to the removal of Squid from Sidewinder in the near
future.
