Re: PROXY_AUTH Problem

Hi,

        If you would like to use the proxy_auth in acl lists you must
first get the patch. This patch is written by Arjan de Vet, his squid
pages are located at: http://www.IAEhv.nl/users/devet/squid/

        At that location you may download the patch so that you may use
the proxy_auth with acl's.

Dave.
