The only time this prompt appears is when users are using sites with the NSPlayer/9.00.00.2980. I'm getting the header from the squid useragent.log file. The prompt is attached. The squid prompt box asks for the domain name right?
Guess I may be barking up the wrong tree here.----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Elsen" <mark.elsen@xxxxxxxxx>

Hey, I am running squid/squidGuard with NTLM authentication. Everything works perfectly, except there is a site that some employees use for interactivetraining. It seems when these employees go to this site they are continuallyprompted for username/password with wpad.domainname.com as the realm. After investigating, the useragent log is showing this:192.168.12.102 - - [15/Feb/2006:15:30:49 -0500] "GET /wpad.dat HTTP/1.1" 200251 "-" "NSPlayer/9.00.00.2980" It seems that the NSPlayer header is somehow not retrieving the wpad file correctly? If the users click cancel nothing happens - they can continue, but it pops up when they click to go to the next page. This is a major annoyance for some users, and has become a headache for me. I haven'texplicitly set anything in squid.conf to only allow certain headers, im not even sure if you can. I have searched hell and high-water, but to no avail.Does anyone have any ideas?
- WPAD is normally used for automatic proxy detection in IE.- I don't understand why the remote webserver , would offer a WPAD.dat files
for 'internet users', that doesn't make sense. - The remote webserver may be broken. M. -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition. Version: 7.1.375 / Virus Database: 267.15.11/264 - Release Date: 2/17/2006
