This error occurs on all squid servers I ran into. BTW, the contact information for the cache administrator should be more informative.

Tim, could this be due to your recent config change?

That was the cause of it, yes. I've deployed a temporary squid configuration change, which makes it only block .htm and .html., and Ryan applied a Squid patch for me which makes url_regex ACLs not unescape percent-encoded question marks before doing the regex match. The Squid patch will be live soon.

seems to be working now.
