Re: [squid-users] Passing ident information as proxy_auth user to upstream cache

Hi Henrik,

First thanks for the response!!

Second, could you possibly point me in the right direction on setting
up an external acl helper to loop back around the ident information
as a login? I understand how you can allow/deny something via an
external acl but how would you bring back a value of other than OK/
ERR and use that as part of a proxy login to a parent cache
(dansguardian in this case)?

I have already been hacking the source and found myself stumped so I
thought I would look at the more compatible (and hopefully simpler)
of the 2 options first.

Thanks for the help!!
