[squid-users] Reverse Proxy with .htaccess - does it work?

I have a reverse proxy setup with Squid-2.6STABLE12. Both Squid and
Apache reside on the same box.

For a typical site on the backend, I have this directive in squid.conf:

<cut>
cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 80 0 originserver no-query no-digest name=www3
cache_peer_domain www3 domainname.tld
</cut>

There is a directory under DocumentRoot for domainname.tld which I would
like to restrict access to (.htaccess style), so that only authenticated
users can go in.

However, a typical configuration for such a restriction, which works for
native Apache, fails to work for me in my reverse proxy setup.

I am sure I am missing something, but what is it?
