Output buffering in my squid.conf is off (by default).

It looks like the program is working but it does only write out the file
during a squid -k rotate (which I can live with). What was throwing me off
was the fact that once I authenticate, squid "remembers" me and doesn't
pass credentials to the authenticator again if it's within the
authenticate_ttl. That would explain why I would only see one entry per id
even though I exited and re-authenticated from my browser several times.
Does this sound right?
