[squid-users] Auth'ed FTP and parent

To make Squid go through parent, if it is not down (!!!),
but go direct when it is down;

I tried
prefer_direct off
it works ok with authenticated http, and anonymous-ftp.
But when I download via non-anonymous FTP,
it goes DIRECT!
For example, you can try it with
ftp://nnm:nnm@mail2.sofex.ru/nnm/klezmer/track1.mp3
and see the X-Cache headers in a download-programs.

I could use never_direct to always use the parent,
but it's really bad, because my downloads will fail when this parent is down!

squid-2.5.PRE12 on FreeBSD 4.6-Release,
the same situation on 2.4-Stable7.
