Re: [squid-users] Issues with Squid and authenticated sites

Thanks so far Henrik.
Since I´m a very stubborn person, I´m still trying.
Doing some further research, I found a post in squid list from 3 years
ago (in fact, you answered to it that time) where a user said he
changed squid so it would return to the browser a HTTP_UNAUTHORIZED
(401) message and then a WWW-Authenticate response-header.
Did some work with Wireshark, and also found some old Squid docs, that
showed me that Squid already does the HTTP_UNAUTHORIZED part. Back
then the person said it worked for Mozilla and Firefox, but not for
IE. Even you said backthen that it wouldn´t always work.
Even so, I´d like to give it a try. Anyone knows if this change in
Squid so it replies with WWW-Authenticate is something done in the
config file or the source code? Even if it doesn´t work, I think is a
very useful thing to learn.

For the record: the thread I´m based on is:

Thanks again
