[squid-users] Strange htaccess problem

Hi, I've searched through the archives and the FAQ and haven't found an
answer to this question.

I'm running Squid 2.4 and Apache 1.3.19 with squid as an http accelerator.
My problem has to do with the way squid seems to be handling some .htaccess
files. I have one particular set of directories protected by a .htaccess
file. This works fine when I run apache without squid, but when I am
running squid one user has to enter his password three or four times for
every screen he goes to, while another user has to enter hers twice when she
enters this area and that's it. I have tried changing the troubled user's
password, to no effect, next I tried removing the .htaccess file altogether
(renamed it) and this had no effect. The authentication window kept popping
up. So I figured maybe squid was caching it somehow, and tried rebuilding
the cache as per the instructions in the FAQ (shutdown squid, move all cache
files, run squid -z again) and had no effect. I checked through every
directory on that path as well as the httpd.conf file itself and there is
nothing there that could be causing this authentication window to appear.
At one point I noticed that a user could click 'cancel' on the
authentication window and be let into the page when squid was running.

Does anyone know why I would still see an http authentication window, after
having done all of the above?

Thanks,
Chris
