i've been trying to set up Squid to present a page hosted on my local machine ( Mac OS X.6 - NOT server ). we have a page that we want to pass data from to an internal app on a separate domain.
i have installed Squid 3.1 xxx and it is "working". however when i go to 'http://localhost' i get a page indicating the admin has disallowed that sort of activity.
any help/pointers would be appreciated? prior to last week i'd never heard of Squid.
here's my squid.conf innards ...
