Re: [squid-users] NTLM accelerator authentication weirdness

cc'ing David W. who appears to have the same issue on 2.7 with similar
but different pass-thru code.

Oh dear. Well if its not working individually or combined, I'm stumped.
At least we have one method that works for Alan. (Dean it turned out to
be turning connection-auth=off on the port).

But having to turn it off is not good. I've opened a bug report to track
this. http://www.squid-cache.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=2572

Is there any possibility of getting a full trace of the headers to/from
Squid from both the Client and the Server facing links when NTLM is
being attempted?
If so that would be useful info for the bug, so someone with a bit more
knowledge and time than me can track down what needs to be fixed.

Along with:
  * build configuration options (squid -v output)
  * full (comment free) configuration settings
  * cache.log trace at level ALL,9 for the request duration.

PS. If either of you has the inclination to wade through that data and
guess at what the problem is it would be a great help too.
