This is a browser bug. Not much Squid can do about it I think.

Squid told your browser that authentication is required.

Your browser then forgot it is using a proxy or even SSL and forwarded
the request as a plain HTTP request trying to use Squid as a http web
server, instead of requesting a SSL tunnel to the intended web server.

Probably related to the generic basic auth bug in IE6, but I do not know
for sure.

Try experimenting with the following options in your browsers Internet
options:

  * Show user friendly HTTP error messages
  * Use HTTP/1.1 via proxies
  * Use HTTP/1.1

Maybe there is a setting where IE6 do work..

You might also want to try with and without the authentication hotfix
from Microsoft..
