I have two client machines exhibiting this problem also.

I get one line in the cache.log, viz:
2001/03/26 09:56:22| urlParse: Illegal character
 in hostname 'proxy.jcu.edu.au:8080proxy.jcu.edu.au'

I get three lines in access.log, viz:
985564555.145 7 x.x.x.94 NONE/400 1204 GET
 http://proxy.jcu.edu.au:8080proxy.jcu.edu.au:8080 - NONE/- -
985564555.172 5 x.x.x.94 NONE/400 1204 GET
 http://proxy.jcu.edu.au:8080proxy.jcu.edu.au:8080 - NONE/- -
985564555.199 0 x.x.x.94 NONE/400 1270 GET
/scripts/cms/CmsInit.ASP?ID=4018293&D2=??OAKW@?????????
 &AW=168&LV=2040&CU=84427977 - NONE/- -

With this extra information, does anyone know which application
on the clients (both windows boxes) may be at fault ....
