I assume that you discovered your problem. The 401 status was returned when
I accessed the web site through Squid.

Did you remember to exit from your browser? I can't enumerate the number of
times that I've had someone whose web site I proxy call in a panic that the
proxy was failing to prompt for an ID and password only to find that they
were, effectively, still logged into the web site.
