[squid-users] Squid + non standard ports behind firewall

I have squid running behind a firewall using cache_peer, everything now
works (so far) except when connecting to sites that run non standard ports
requiring authentication.

If I just connect to a site on say 8080 it hands of to the firewall on port
80 (it's parent) without any error, but if the site has a username and
password required then after entering the details, squid then tries to
communicate direct with the destination on the non standard port. Of course
the firewall gets upset with this as it is not running a proxy on this port.

I am not certain what other info I can give other than whats above, if
anyone needs more info tell me what you need to help debug it and I will see
if I can get it.
