[squid-users] Squid Basic auth (using ncsa) problem

Hello.

I have configured squid to use ncsa_auth as basic authentication,
everything works except for 2 things:

** All under IE (5.5 and 6, win2k and XP):

1. For some reason once a user fails to enter a password he may not
authenticate anymore and will have to reset the session (closing and
reopening the browser).
2. This is the serious problem - whenever a user authenticates itself
(successfully) for the first time he will get a 407 error and then he will
have to refresh his browser in order to continue (from that point it works
great).

Mozilla works great with the basic auth module, however - it looks like an
internal workaround rather than something wrong in IE as a small app we
have here that authenticates itself with the proxy gets the same error (a
407 after a successful login).
