RE: [squid-users] Proxy_Auth Question

Miguel, I terribly forgot (and wasted other people time) that it is not
possible. In a somehow related question I did yesterday, someone
refreshed my mind about authentication not being possible with a
transparent proxy.

Here is an extract of the docs.

" proxy_auth can't be used in a transparent proxy. It collides with any
authentication done by origin servers. It may seem like it works at
first, but it doesn't. When a Proxy-Authentication header is sent but it
is not needed during ACL checking the username is NOT logged in
access.log "
