Hi Squid Gurus!!

I have a little issue.  Exists a website that require authentication. When I
try to connect to that website I don't see the window to put my credentials.
If I un-configure proxy settings on my browser, and try to connect to that
website I can see the window to put my credentials.

To understand me what happened exactly, please try to get at
http://148.223.140.117/  with squid proxy and without it.

I hope somebody have seen this problem, and give me an idea to resolve this
issue.

This is a very recurrent problem: the site is using NTLM (Windows integrated) authentication. That authentication system is DEPRECATED by Microsoft for Internet usage, because its usage with proxy is insecure by design:
http://lists.grok.org.uk/pipermail/full-disclosure/2005-July/035291.html

For this reason, current Squid version BY DESIGN don't proxy NTLM authentication requests coming from the original web site.

So the best option should be to contact the site administrator and ask him to user a saner authentication system, usually Basic + SSL.

Regards
