[squid-users] POST fails when Parent proxy is used.

We've got a test install of win32 2.6.stable10 on a remote site. For
general internet access we pass the requests on to a parent proxy hosted
by the ISP.

The following two entries in the squid.conf relates to the proxy setup.

cache_peer proxy1.emirates.net.ae parent 8080 3130 no-query
cache_peer_domain proxy1.emirates.net.ae !roxar.com

This should pass all traffic on to the ISP proxy apart from requests to
*.roxar.com sites. This part works as expected, but once we access an
external site that has a form using POST, the following is logged in the
access.log, which to me indicates that it no longer uses the parent
proxy when submitting the form via POST

I assume this isn't normal behaviour, or did I miss something in the
config?
