Re: [squid-users] ncsa_auth user ID is case-sensitive

Would probably be a lot better to do something similar within
src/auth/basic/auth_basic.c, to force Basic authentication names to be
always lowercase.

And if you add a squid.conf directive (see src/cf.data.pre and
src/structs.h) then you can make a lot of users happy with this patch.
