RE: [squid-users] How to configure squid as a simple http gw, if possible?

Hi Michael / squid-users,

Thanks for your reply, nice and concise.
The acceleration seems to be working except for one
thing, the actual http server has access control on
it. If I browse to it directly,
I correctly get prompted for access control. However
squid seems to be stopping the access control prompt
from coming up, so it just complains saying access
denied.

Anyone got any idea how to get the access control
stuff through the squid http gw?

Also I set "maximum_object_size 0 KB", is this the
correct way to disable the caching? I couldn't find
a FAQ topic that directly answers this?

Cheers,

Alistair.
