Thanks for the comment. I was away for a while.
You have mentioned that such authentication method is somewhat
proprietary since it is not following standard. If I only need to cache
http (port 80) and none other ports, this authentication method should
still be sufficiently good. right?

It is a hack. And fails badly for all other applications than browsing
as it is not a standard authentication method so none of the methods
of specifying the proxy account in other applications works.
