I just verified using Squid-2.5.STABLE here, and from what I can tell both
browser redirects and URL rewrites works just fine in precense of parents
just as when going direct.

Browser redirect -> Squid responds with a browser redirect to the client
no matter if a parent is configured or not.

URL rewrite -> Squid contacts the new URL or forwards the new URL to the
parent.

Not here. What was sent to the parent defenitely was the URL returned by
the redirector and not the original URL.

What version of Squid are you using?

Any third-party patches applied?
