[squid-users] Squid transparent + Frontpage 2000 login problem

I run Squid 2.5.STABLE1 on a RH7.2 base, kernel 2.4.7-10smp. Squid runs in
transparent proxy-cache mode, with iptables redirecting port 80 traffic. My
web clients have problems posting to frontpage 2000 webs on windows-hosted
sites. Login seems to work ok, and it's definantly related to squid as it
works fine through plain NAT when I remove the redirection in iptables. I
thought FrontPage used to work with Squid...

Also, M$ SharePoint enabled sites, which have username+password login
requirements act funny. When using IE (any version), you are prompted for
your login for the initial connection, and then also for each object on the
page - each and every image, and then for every link you click inside the
site. When using Netscape, Mozilla, Opera, you are prompted only once as
you would expect. Odd, since SharePoint sites usually don't work right
outside of IE.

Is there some way I can cause a no-cache/direct situation to occur, based on
the Client-Type or some other HTTP header? Maybe match a server version
header for the SharePoint sites? This seems like the easiest workaround but
I lack the config wizardry to do so.
