Hi,
I installed squid on the front of our webserver in accelerator mode so
that all static content is served by squid and the dynamic content
passed to the webserver at the back. I am using lighttpd at the backend
and have password protected one of the folders using htpasswd utility.
After installing squid when I call the protected folder in the browser
like so www.mysite.com/protectedfolder I get the authentication
challenge window but when I enter the username and password the window
comes back. It seems because of squid it is not possible to authenticate
anymore.
Any help with regards to this issue will be highly appreciated.
I think you need to add the 'login=PASS' option to the cache_peer line
for yoru web server. That way squid knows to trust it with your credentials.
NOTE: that is the exact text 'login=PASS', minus only the quotes.
