I would be happy to try to resolve this issue with Secure Computing.
However, I need more information:

- What exactly is the Secure Computing plugin that supports Squid2 and
does not support Squid3? Does it have a name and a version number?

- What API/protocol does that plugin use to integrate with Squid2?

- Does anybody know why the plugin does not work with Squid3?

Google shows a few suspects, but I want to be as precise as possible
when talking to Secure Computing folks, and I do not have first-hand
knowledge of this plugin and its problems.

Thank you,

Alex.
