Re: [squid-users] external_acl_type with http request header question

OK I think I have something... This will give me the same result as
ident.sh when I enter a base64 string "OK user=name":

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
$|=1; # no buffering???
while (<>) {
        chop;
        ($u) = split;
use MIME::Base64 ();
    $u = MIME::Base64::decode($u);
        $ans = &check($u);
        print "$ans",$u,"\n";
}

sub check {
        local($u) = @_;
        return 'OK user=';
}

As you can see I took another auth script and modified it. Even thought I
get the same result as the sh script I tried to use this and it caused
problems. Some of the base64 strings have the @familink.net in them as part
of the username. Can Squid use that as a username? Just so you know, my
only programming was in fortran!
