Hmm. I don't see any problem with that URL (with squid 2.1 or 2.2).
Perhaps it is something to do with the flash file? (?)

Squid is usually right. I got such complaints from time to time and
iirc it turns out that the URL's in question (altavista mail and
Canada Newswire) are in fact invalid. People apparently are very
sloppy generating random URL's and sometimes will include invalid
characters.

Try turning Javascript off and see if the problem reoccurs. People
seem to be very sloppy checking for errors in their Javascript and
sometimes includes newlines inside URL's.
