[squid-users] FTP authenticated using explorer 8

Hello,

a user of mine is complaining that with IE 8 he cannot open URLS like
ftp://user@site.tld though my cache (the same works quite well with
chrome) on his Windows seven PC.
He gets:
ERROR
Cache Access Denied

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While trying to retrieve the URL: ftp://user@www.example.it/

The following error was encountered:

.Cache Access Denied.

Sorry, you are not currently allowed to request:

    ftp://user@www.example.it/from this cache until you have authenticated yourself.

You need to use Netscape version 2.0 or greater, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0, or an HTTP/1.1 compliant browser for this to work. Please contact the cache administrator if you have difficulties authenticating yourself or change your default password.

Instead of the request of user and password that comes with Chrome.

Using FireFox 3.6.3 he first gets a warning window saying "wou are about to
access www.example.it as user user, is that what you want?". By clicking "OK"

he gets:

ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved

An FTP authentication failure occurred while trying to retrieve the URL: ftp://user@www.example.it/

Squid sent the following FTP command:

    PASS <yourpassword>

and then received this reply

    Login authentication failed

Your cache administrator is noc_at_example.it.
