Re: [squid-users] ncsa auth cached passwd probs/

Wei,

I did originally think that, but if one uses IE, how do you stop the browse
from caching the passwd? Also the squid logs say that the request came in DIRECT
which gives me the impression that its NOT useing the username and passwd.

eg.

1024587952.127 315 217.199.164.201 TCP_MISS/200 501 GET http://h.msn.com/c.gif? - DIRECT/xx7.x8.x77.1x5 image/gif

This came from a user that is supposedly using auth from passwd.

Is this kind of behaviour correct?
