Note: HTTP does not officially define a meaning of the login field in the
http:// URL. But you are correct that if this field is to have a meaning
it is authentication to the requested server, not proxies.

Squid understands the standard login URL syntax for http:// URLs as well
and will automatically use this for Basic HTTP authentication to the
requested web server to make some use of the data.
