Hi Folks,
Squid: 2.5 stable 6 Linux-2.6.9.
I found out when debugging that Squid HTML-encodes the username and password before it pushes it into the Basic Auth helper.
Yes, as mentioned in the Squid-2.5 release notes squid URL-encodes odd characters in usernames or passwords. This to ensure stability in the text based protocol used.
You need to URL-decode the input data after splitting the fields in username & password to make sense of them.
I have a updated and cleaned up version of squid_radius_auth by Marc van Selm where these adjustments have been done and a bit more. This is available from http://www.squid-cache.org/contrib/squid_radius_auth/ or the squid-cache.org CVS repository.
