Will try that.

This is not wanted by my boss. Probably because of ethical reasons.
If a user uses https, he normally believes his traffic is secure and
we want that this is the case.

Going back to the initial problem, slow NTLM authentications with
newer browsers. Would it be worth to switch completely to Negotiate?
Or is it possible to cache the NTLM authentication results, so that
Squid does not need to fork a ntlm auth helper on every request?
