GET request in Google

R

Riccardo

I did test ( by Firefox 3.0.8 and IE 6.0.2900.5512 sp3) typing on
Google site the string
"squid cache" and I took the first link shown on result page as test:

Squid Web Proxy Cache (www.squid-cache.org)

I captured traffic before clicking on link and I noted the first GET
has 2 different contents if I compare
Firefox vs IE browsers


Firefox 3.0.8

GET
http://www.google.it/url?sa=t&sourc...pGJn4JTxudkaMMLoA&sig2=p8Un5ixt_WDonYPA7rULXQ
HTTP/1.1\r\n


IE 6.0.2900.5512 sp3

GET
http://www.google.it/url?sa=T&sourc...f6ALYHz-Ab2woGSCQ&sig2=p36E8TpZK7pGCTl-8xPvMA
HTTP/1.1\r\n


I should be very happy if someone could give me explanations about
these questions:

1- Why doesn't GET ask immediately "www.squid-cache.org" page instead
of direct attention to "www.google.it" ?
2- Why does Firefox GET content is longer than IE GET content ?
3- Why both GET contents are so different if site request is the
same ?
4- Can someone explain me meaning of parameters (divided by "&"
symbol) which are passed to GET ?

Google likes to count how many times one of its lines is used. This is to do
with page rank.

Ask google.
