Re: [squid-users] Windows update hangs

Might be an option...
How do I do that?
I have tried

acl WIN1 dstdomain update.microsoft.com
acl WIN2 dstdomain windowsupdate.microsoft.com
acl WIN3 dstdomain download.microsoft.com

always_direct allow WIN1
always_direct allow WIN2
always_direct allow WIN3

But it still prompts for auth.
