Re: [squid-users] Any news on :acl identname2 ident username case-insensitive

To my knowledge nobody has picked up the torch and it still remains as
an idea for a future Squid improvement.

As in my previous reply:

   Anyone willing at taking a stab at this are welcome, and it
   will get committed.

Henrik
