[squid-users] Re: Re: Vedr.: Re: Vedr.: Re: [squid-users] apache basic authentication doesn't work through squid.. why?

well.. something like this would have helped me understand it.. but that's
just me.. I can't speak for the majority.

                     use 'login=PASS' if users must authenticate against
                     the upstream proxy.this will pass-on login credentials
                  to cache_peer.
                  Note: To combine this with
                     proxy_auth both proxies must share the same user
                     database as HTTP only allows for one proxy login.
                     Also be warned that this will expose your users proxy
                     password to the parent. USE WITH CAUTION
                     Note: (is there any performance concerns in enabling
this -
                        if for instance you also had your main-site on the
same peer).

Does anyone have a better suggestion for the documentation?

                     use 'login=PASS' if users must authenticate against
                     the upstream proxy. Note: To combine this with
                     proxy_auth both proxies must share the same user
                     database as HTTP only allows for one proxy login.
