Introduction

Hi,

I'm Chitresh Kakwani from India. I'm a student pursuing masters in
computer science. I came across the following issue in squid :

I tried to configure squid proxy on my machine to use another squid
proxy(installed on another machine) as the parent proxy. The parent
proxy requires HTTP Digest authentication. My objective is to set up a
local proxy which deals with the parent proxy's authentication and
provides authentication free access to programs on my machine. But the
local proxy sends HTTP Basic authentication header in HTTP requests if
the following configuration directive is used :

cache_peer 192.168.10.1 parent 8080 0 no-query login=username:password

So the parent proxy returns an error TCP_MISS/407: Authentication
Required.

I would like to implement support for HTTP Digest authentication in
squid when it works in peer mode.

Regards,
Chitresh Kakwani
