Re: Adding custom headers to requests / authorizing proxy auth on higher level proxies

If what you want is the basic authentication on your upstream proxy, on your
parent line add
login=user:password
with a valid user and password.

ie
cache_peer xx.xx.x.xxx parent 3128 3130 login=cache2:somepassword

and squid will create that header for you.
