Re: [squid-users] ProxyAuth credentials size limit

Yes, I think so, and I suspect that it's not a simple configuration
parameter either but hard-coded. Without knowing where in the source to
look for this, I searched all files for explicit, static 256 byte
buffers, and I found quite a few.

I'll file a bug.

Thanks.
