[squid-users] proxy single sign-on

proxy (basic) authorization works well for the moment - so far so good...
i had a look at one of the commercial
products recently and they do some kind of single sign-on for their proxy service
- the user will logon for the first
time with username/password
- a flash cookie (LSO - local stored object) will be set in the users broswer with no
expiration time
- further authorizations (after browser was closed / machine restarted) will be granted based on this
flash cookie

i am in no way a squid/auth/flash guru...
has anyone tried a similar approach on squid?
it seems that
flash can be used to set various headers in the browser (if flash plugin installed...)
so lets say the authentication
succeeds and flash will set the 'proxy-auth' header
...will this header then be used in all subsequent browser
requests?

a bit flash centric i know - pardon me ;D
