Re: [squid-users] resend: squidGuard and/or authentication?

Would the access controls you are talking of include using the
"external_acl_type"? (http://squid.sourceforge.net/external_acl)

I've toyed with the idea of using a script in an external acl which
would consider URLs using squidGuard and provide ERR/OK based on that,
with a combination of the "auth_param basic" and its associated ACL with
poor results.

Thanks,
Peter
