[squid-users] Configuring Squid to pass through HTTP authentication

Hi,

I manage a Squid installation that acts as a proxy (but not cache) for
a set of HTTP servers. I recently encountered a need to password
protect a directory full of content using HTTP authentication
(preferably digest, but open to basic if necessary). For various
reasons, it's more convenient to perform the authentication on the
proxied servers rather than in Squid. Is there a way to configure
Squid to pass authentication headers through to the proxied servers?
Right now, it's stripping authentication-related headers set by
clients. I tried using the "cache deny" directive with a
"urlpath_regex" ACL matching the protected directory, but it made no
difference.

Thanks.
