Re: [squid-users] different cache access denied message

As you may have noticed authentication programs only return "OK" or
"ERR" which somewhat limits the diversity of messages you can return to
the user.

However, deny_info applies to authentication required messages, so you
can return different error messages depending on which proxy_auth ACL
the user was denied / not allowed by.

There is als a couple of patches extending what authentication programs
may return to Squid. See for example
http://devel.squid-cache.org/projects.html#authinfo
