Squid is probably the one at "fault" if you are saying that the fault lies
with not being able to access the webpage. But that's only because squid
adheres to the standards, whereas the site admin doesn't. Anything else out
in the world that adheres to the standards will also be at "fault" in this
case.

Best bet would be to fix the site. Then anything that is at "fault" of not
opening the site, is a bad piece of software.
