It all worked without a hitch and solved a few other problems I was having besides the http auth situation.

This is a reason for many frustrations I've had (not just in this project). Unfortunately the server on which I'm supposed to install the Proxy runs Windows, company policy :( Well, I'm very thankful for your advice anyway! There's another thing I'd like to do with the same squid proxy, maybe you can also help on this issue (if I haven't tested your patience enough already): Is there a way to listen on multiple ports and forward the traffic to various ports on the same originserver? Here's another stunning example of an ASCII schematic :) Client request (Port 80) <--> Squidserver:80 <--> 300.200.80.254:80 Client request (Port 11994) <--> Squidserver:11994 <--> 300.200.80.254:11994 Any Ideas?
