Question ICAP-client

Hi all,

I already posted this on squid-users (sorry for crossposting), but I
don't think now that I will get a valuable response. It's acutally not
the exact same message, I tried to clarify my question.

regards, Stefan Bischof

Hello,

I have a question regarding the ICAP-client of Squid (3.0PRE5 and
following), I hope this is the right place to ask:

Currently I am writing an ICAP-server. What I need now is the
authenticated username. The rest of the message describes my tries to
get this working and my question.

First I implemented
http://www.i-cap.org/spec/draft-stecher-icap-subid-00.txt
<http://www.i-cap.org/spec/draft-stecher-icap-subid-00.txt> by sending
X-Include: X-Authenticated-User
in my OPTIONS response. (I don't know if this draft is really
implemented, but after a little googlin, I tought so ... Please tell me
whether it is implemented in the actual 3.0 or not.) Squid didn't send
me the desired header field (X-Authenticated-User) in the next requests.

Any mistake by me so far?

OK, after that i enabled icap_send_client_username in squid.conf (The
only thing I need is in fact the username, I don't care about
auth-schemes). This worked great for REQMOD requests. But in RESPMOD
requests the username is still missing (not only my application was
complaining, I used tcpdump to verify this).

So my big question is:
What can I do (or what is the right way) to get the username in REQMOD
AND IN RESPMOD requests?

I am curious about your answers!

best regards
Stefan Bischof

Addition: I am running Squid 3.0PRE5 in a VMWare Ubuntu Linux 6.10
Server. For authentication I used the simple NCSA authenticator.

If you need any other information, just tell me.
Thanks for helping me out!
