AW: [squid-users] Auth problem Squid (telnet)

it doesn't have something to do with squid itself, it's the http-protocoll.
squid sends a special http-header with a auth-line. your client (browser)
will
respond in opening a dialog and asks the user to give username and password
and resend the request including a base64-coded version of "user:password".

this is the squid-answer, when access www.ibm.com and auth is required.

HTTP/1.0 407 Proxy Authentication Required
Server: Squid/2.4.STABLE7
Mime-Version: 1.0
Date: Fri, 09 Aug 2002 11:08:16 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 1557
Expires: Fri, 09 Aug 2002 11:08:16 GMT
X-Squid-Error: ERR_CACHE_ACCESS_DENIED 0
Proxy-Authenticate: Basic realm="Internet-Access"
Proxy-Connection: close
 
so the browser will now to display the dialog.
