[squid-users] automatic authentication to squid proxy using http|ftp|https link

 
Hi,
 
my name is Fabrizio Croci and I am the italian Web Administrator of a
multinational company.
 
I'm writing to this email address instead of the squid-users newsgroup,
because our corporate policy doesn't let us to access any newsgroups on the
internet. So I hope you would answer this email.
 
We are facing some troubles with squid proxy authentication.
For reasons that are hard to explain shortly, we need to give some internal
people access to the internet, only to go to a specific web server.
It means we could not enable their username/password to access the internet
and we could not communicate them which username/password to use for
accessing that web server.
 
In our idea, the best solution is to provide them a link inside our intranet
portal. In this way, they simply click on the link, pass through the squid
proxy and access the internet server.
 
Of course, we need to establish a sort of automatic authentication to the
proxy.
We are looking for a programming solution at run-time.
 
I hope this problem could be interesting for you and above all easy to solve
:-)))
 
Thanks in advance for any kind of support you could provide us.
Best regards
Fabrizio Croci
