Re: [squid-users] securing proxy authentication

He didn't misunderstand you. The only way to do what you want is to use
Digest or NTLM authentication. This means that you must use Internet
Explorer, as this is the only browser that supports these methods. If you
cannot mandate the use of that browser, then you are stuck with supporting
base64 encoded passwords. It is sad but true and I wish it were otherwise.

Cheers
