Re: AW: [squid-users] Re: URL's that begins with a minus

The symbol that you see in front of "kol.deviantart.com" is not a
minus sign. It is a tilde. It is not part of the host name. The
tilde is used on the deviantART web pages as a device to indicate
that the following string is a link to a web site. It may, also, be
used to hinder "bots" from trolling the site.
