[squid-users] Authentication only for certain content-type

I want to make squid ask for authentication only for
certain content-type of the http response. For all
other content-type I don't want the browser to raise
authentication popup window.

The solution I've in mind is to make an external acl
helper that retrieves only the http header of the url
and scan it for content-type. To do so I'll have to
patch squid to implement the %PATH external_acl_type
fromat parameter (backporting some code from actual
devel-branch to my squid version 2.5-stable3 on redhat
enterprise 3 U3). I know this is a communication
overhead, but I can't figure out a better solution.

Anybody has a better solution?

Thanx,

-- Adolfo
