Hmm.. it is meant to be sent in the authorization header in your
configuration (originserver login=...)

You are looking for the wrong thing ;-)

The variable name you have is how your HTTP server indicates HTTP header

within Squid by the name HDR_PROXY_AUTHORIZATION.

The exact piece of code managing the login= option is
httpBuildRequestHeader() in http.cc
