No. Squid uses the RFC-style Proxy-Authorization header. It gets a HTTP
code 407 from the proxy and after a successful authentication delivers
the header with every request. You would need to change both the proxy
and the browser.

Why not? It's the best solution ever when it comes to
platform-independence. Show me a browser that doesn't support 407
authentication.

What if a user wants to "wget" a file through an authenticating proxy? I
don't think wget understands login forms.

Perhaps you explain what's wrong with the current approach. I suspect
you are looking for something completely different.
