Thank you. I'm not sure I understand it, though. Do you need to set
%s? How do you use it?

Yes, I've also tried that.

This is what I've currently got:

--
external_acl_type ipauth ttl=5 negative_ttl=5 %SRC
/usr/local/squid/libexec/checkip
acl lan external ipauth
http_access allow lan
deny_info http://192.168.60.254/login.html lan
--
However, redirection does not take place and I'm served the Standard
error page in ERR_ACCESS_DENIED.
In an attempt to find a kludge for what I'm trying to do, I used
url_rewrite_program to redirect to my login page. The interesting
thing here is that if I redirect as follows:
--
print "302:http://192.168.60.254/cgi-bin/auth.cgi\n"
--
Then I get an error message which says "Error the requested URL could
not be retrieved." as the root has been removed from the path.
(see http://davec.uklinux.net/Squid3.0-HEAD.jpg )
But, if I put a slash in front of the redirection URL:
--
print "302:/http://192.168.60.254\n"
--
then Squid attempts to redirect me to the originally requested URL
with /http://192.168.60.254/ appended.

Regards and thanks for your time :)
