[squid-users] ibm.com & Squid 2.5 & auth

Hello,

I have problems accessing 2 sites with Squid.
I'm using Squid 2.5.6-2 on Debian Sarge. The authenticate program is digest (I
tried ncsa and same problem, but maybe I should try again...), and the
Browser is IE 6.0 (didn't check with other browsers)

I can't attach my .conf files as I don't have access to the Proxy yet, but I
think it looks more like a bug rather than a conf pb. Actually my squid.conf
is quite the Debian default.

Here's the situation :

1) IBM drivers
go to http://www.ibm.com
Get support > Downloads & Drivers

Browse product support > Hardware > ThinkCentre desktop
2nd link 'Driver matrices'
ThinkCentre
IBM ThinkCentre S50 > Machine Type 8183
Audio > ADI SoundMAX onboard audio driver
Click on the Win 98... one (D64Z33US)
Click on d64z33us.exe
Choose 'Use IBM Download Director', agree, and... no download !

It is an authentication problem as it works when I deactivate it ('http_access
allow all' just before the 'http_access deny !Users' line in squid.conf,
Users is the acl for authentication)

It doesn't work with digest authentication. Is it a digest bug or a squid bug
? is it really a bug ?
Could there be a solution ?
Don't tell me not to use 'IBM Download Director', my client wants to use it.

When clicking on the links, the authentication box appears again and again,
and finally the connection fails.
Same as ibm : OK when authentication is desactivated.

Could someone else try ?
Is there a reason ?

Thanks for your help.
I'm using squidguard too but this is not related to it.
