While reading squid.conf to solve another problem with transparent proxying, I saw this comment: # WARNING: authenitcation can't be used in a transparently # intercepting proxy as the client then thinks it is talking to an # origin server and not the proxy. This is a limitation of bending the # TCP/IP protocol to transparently intercepting port 80, not a # limitation in Squid. (there is a typo in the file - s/authenitcation/authentication/) This has made me go thinking hard .... I wanted to use the very same trick ;) I also saw another interesting comment: # WARNING: proxy_auth can't be used in a transparent proxy. It # collides with any authentication done by origin servers. It may # seem like it works at first, but it doesn't. Please go and look at the FAQ. If you get a way, kindly CC me on your solution. -Wash http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html -- +======================================================================+ |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington <wash@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Zzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 +======================================================================+ "I'm willing to sacrifice anything for this cause, even other people's lives"
