[squid-users] HTTP authentication question...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi,
In brief: my question is: how can I distinguish if user comes through one port
or another, so I can disable caching for this user....

Now full version ;)
I have squid 2.4 working as accelerator for underlying Zope. Entire system
looks like:

apache->squid->Zope

apache does virtual hosting and runs mod_gzip, squid does caching, and zope
actualy runs content management system (Plone).

Now, Zope can communicate with squid using ICP and it seems like they do so.
Problem occures when user loggs into a system (Plone running in Zope) and
this user is supposed to see same pages "differently" as (s)he get's more
functionality, but squid still picks up cached version and only "reload" in
browser helps. So my Idea was to check for credentials and if it's empty -
move user through the cache, if not - don't do caching at all.

Sorry if explanation is a little bit unclear - I'm working on this idea couple
of days only so I don't have clear picture myself yet - just exploring
possibilities as my squid experience == 7 days :)
