client_persistent_connections off worked for me.

Interestingly, I have been tasked with evaluating a number of different
proxies on both Windows and Linux. To date, the only one that has exhibited
this https/auth/domain name stripping problem has been Squid. Does that
mean that the others are effectively all using non persistent connections,
or is Squid missing a trick somewhere?
