Squid is supposed to be transparent when using HTTP authentication. My
guess is that the site in question does strange.

Which site you are trying to contact?

What Squid version? (1.2 is only the major version of the current beta

Have you tried if you can reach the server directly from the FreeBSD
server? (using Lynx or another browser available on FreeBSD).
