RE: [squid-users] HTTP Error 401.2

One question - I have another set of users that also access this web site, through anohter network that uses a dirrent proxy setup (I don't know the gory details, but I think it is Microsoft ISA). All of this stuff works correctly for them. Microsoft ISA doesn't proxy this?

Those servers are asking for NTLM (aka "windows native") authentication,
whose design breaks every assumption behind HTTP, and as a result is not
proxable. It's not a squid problem, no proxy in the market will work.
Reconfigure those server to use Basic or Digest authentication and the
problem will disappear.
