RE: [squid-users] unexpected state in AuthenticateNTLMFixErrorHea der (squid crash)

The server (one of the servers) in question is definitely apache, so it's
Basic or Digest authentication. I've seen your past comments about NTLM
authentication.

Can anyone on the list verify that Microsoft proxy servers suffer the same
problem ?

NTLM authentication cannot be proxied due to a design flaw by MS in NTLM
authentication.

Basic and Digest authentication should be proxied fine, and should also
work fine even if you are using NTLM authentication to authenticate to
the proxy.
