Both of you completely misunderstood the meaning of always_direct and
never_direct. It is related to the usage of other, upstream, caches and
not at all authentication.

Use http_access. I think if you have a matching allow rule before checking
for certain passwords/accounts it won't prompt for a password.

A dstdomain beginning with a '.' character is AFAIK definitely bogus too.
You might want to use url_regex and a regular expression if you want
to refer to www servers in a certain DNS domain.
