Re: Squid: Passing url to authenticator

I think you should get in touch with Dancer. He has made something along
these lines.

I don't expect mainstream Squid to accept such a change to
authenticators since it would prevent caching of user credentials, and
caching is badly needed for many of the authenticators contacting other
authentication servers, or a Squid proxy could easily overload the
backend authentication server (not to mention the added latency which
for some methods can be a second or more).

What I think could be accepted to mainstream Squid distribution is
perhaps an process based ACL type which calls an external access control
process.
