I am using NTLM_auth to authenticate users against an nt domain. All of the
users on the nt domain are in the form of firstname lastname e.g. charlie
grosvenor this is causing problems as squid seems to write the log files
with a %20 instead of a space e.g.
 
1064350374.222 248 192.168.1.250 TCP_MISS/200 2651 GET

Is this what is should be doing or is this a bug? This is causing me
problems as it seems to confuse sarg (program to create html access reports,
passes squids access.log) and squidguard (filtering software). Is there any
way to get squid to write a space instead of a %20?

Thank you

Charlie
