RE: [squid-users] Media Player 9 and NCSA authentication

I tried 2.5 and it is working. 2.4 seems to be case sensitive while 2.5 is
not.

Thanks for your help,

Eric.

Squid-2.5 is not case sensitive on the authentication scheme names, and to
my knowledge neither was Squid-2.4 but I have not verified if this was the
case.

Try upgrading to Squid-2.5. If you still have problems register a Squid bug
for the issue.
