[squid-users] ncsa_auth htpasswd authentication issue on windows

After a fair amount of troubleshooting and searching archives/mailing
lists/net I have grown weary (again).

Built squid 2.6 from src's on a Windows XP pro system.

I am using mingw/minsys as a build environment per the instructions found on the
acmeconsulting website.

./configure line:
============================
./configure \
--enable-win32-service \
--enable-htcp \
--enable-icmp \
--disable-wccpv2 \
--disable-wccp \
--enable-underscores \
--enable-storeio='ufs null' \
--enable-removal-policies='heap lru' \
--enable-snmp \
--enable-win32-service \
--enable-useragent-log \
--enable-referer-log \
--enable-auth='basic' \ # Tried configuring with digest as well here
--enable-basic-auth-helpers=NCSA \
--with-maxfd=8192 \
--enable-err-languages=English \
--prefix=c:/squid/

Created a passwd file with htpasswd extracted from NCSAsupport.zip:
htpassswd -c c:\squid\etc\passwd web (with a password of web)

The passwd file contents look like this:
web:Hbdovx.likPeg

Tested things out on the command line:
C:\>c:\squid\libexec\ncsa_auth c:\squid\etc\passwd
web web
ERR Wrong password

My squid.conf lines:
auth_param basic program C:/squid/libexec/ncsa_auth.exe C:/squid/etc/passwd

acl foo proxy_auth web
http_access allow foo
acl all src 0/0
http_access deny all

Thank you!
