[squid-users] Squid Authing

[Mark McCorkle <mccorkle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I see a lot of emails in this list that hit around what I'm trying to do 
-- so I think I just need some education -- but I've been trying to get 
a good answer from "Squid: The Definative Guide" and from the FAQ for 
the last few hours, and I'm coming up dry.

I have a custom built ACL helper (squid_acl.pl) and a custom built 
redirector (squid_redirector.pl).  I want squid_redirector.pl to behave 
differently the first time that a user auths against squid_acl.pl (I'm 
redirecting the users to a new url after their first request, but never 
after).  The problem that I'm having is that I can't figure out how to 
tell the difference between the true "first" hit against squid_acl.pl 
(when the user's session is brand new) and when successive requests are 
happeneing.  I'm seeing squid_acl.pl hit every time the user asks for a 
resource.  Config parts that I think are applicable are below.  Can 
someone point me toward some enlightenment? TIA.
