[squid-users] secure authentication between browser and squid redux

I am wondering if anything has changed regarding browser support for SSL
enabled proxy authentication. This is the last I see on the issue.

Neither digest, ntlm, or stunnel on clients are attractive options for
us to secure browser proxy auth. We use LDAP.

Are there other generalized methods being used to handle proxy
authentication from browser to squid securely? For example, front
ending the proxy authentication with a webpage and passing a message to
squid to allow proxy to those who authenticate on the webpage. Or does
everyone roll their own?

Thanks much in advance.
