[squid-users] ERR_INVALID_REQ - Invalid Request

Hi I hope someone can help me!

I am running Squid 2.6.STABLE1 on Ubuntu Edgy 6.10 (Kernel 2.6.17-amd64).
Squid is listening on port 3328. I am in the process of changing servers
from Mandrake MNF, Kernel 2.4.18-8 with Squid 2.4.STABLE7. I want my
configurations to be exactly the same, so I have copied over lots of things
like my squid.conf and my firewall script. The configuration file I have
included currently works with my old server.

On my new Ubuntu server the squid program starts up OK. Oh, I also have
SquidGuard running.

This is the line in my firewall that redirects the HTTP requests from port
80 to port 3328:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j
REDIRECT --to-port 3328

When I comment out this line, clients on the LAN can get through to the
Internet. When the above line is implemented, we get the following error in
all browsers, to all hosts. ERR_INVALID_REQ

The following error was encountered:
Invalid Request
Some aspect of the HTTP Request is invalid. Possible problems:
Missing or unknown request method
Missing URL
Missing HTTP Identifier (HTTP/1.0)
Request is too large
Content-Length missing for POST or PUT requests
Illegal character in hostname; underscores are not allowed
Your cache administrator is webmaster.

Here is my squid.conf file, hoping it will help.
