RE: MS IE 4.0 and ftp problems

Does anyone know of a way to make Squid use these icons (the icons
referenced in the squid.conf file) even when fetching stuff from a
parent/sibling? The only way I've been able to make sure users see these
icons is to put "ftp" in the hierarchy_stoplist, and I'd like Squid to be
able to fetch FTP objects from parents if possible.
