Authentication bug in Squid 2.2S4

Hi,

I picked up a problem with the way the authentication works in squid.
Currently when squid uses an authenticator it sends out a line in the form
<username> <password>

The problem comes in when the user enters a username with a space in it
then the second part or surname will be interpreted as the password. The
solution is to convert the space in the username to a %20 the way it currently
does in the log file.

Cheers
  Steve
