RE: [squid-users] proxy_auth

For both of these questions, see the FAQ... the answers are really there - I
promise; they each have their own chapter.

passwd is just an arbitrary name for the acl, and http_access allow uses
it... examples are in the FAQ.

The redirector is simply a program that takes the input URL (and a few other
pieces of info) as a line of input to stdin, and output the redirected URL
to stdout. You just need to spawn enough of these processes to handle your
traffic. A good example of a simple and easily customizable one is pyredir,
which is written in python, very easy to configure, and just as easy to hack
(it's written in Python, which is really easy to code - search
freshmeat.net for it).

Subject: [squid-users] proxy_auth

I see a lot of guys asking about acl but no post describes what I need.
How to define acl and http_access that for some destination users will be
prompted for password for others not (ldap server).

I see in all examples:

acl passwd proxy_auth
http_access allow passwd

What is 'passwd', squid variable (I can see no other line which
defines 'passwd')?

That would be great if someone could supply me with some example.

And the second question, how to make redirections?
user type 'http://something' and he is redirected to 'http://someting.com
or to another proxy server (must be possibility to define several
redirections depending url).
In Netscape they call it templates.
Thanks a lot for help

Chris
