Ok, thanks. I've traced the network exchange between client and Squid. Here is containing of http level, as shown by Wireshark: After the classical Syn, Syn/Ack, Ack: Frame #3) Client --> Squid CONNECT www.rsync-test-site.com:873 HTTP/1.0\r\n Request Method: CONNECT Request URI: www.rsync-test-site.com:873 Request Version: HTTP/1.0 Proxy-Authorization: Basic xxxxxxxxxxxx\r\n Credentials: http://user:password Frame #4) Squid --> Client HTTP/1.0 407 Proxy Authentication Required\r\n Request Version: HTTP/1.0 Response Code: 407 Server: squid/2.6.STABLE18\r\n Content-Type: text/html\r\n Content-Length: 1288 X-Squid-Error: ERR_CACHE_ACCESS_DENIED 0\r\n Proxy-Authenticate: Basic realm="Squid proxy-caching web server"\r\n X-Cache: MISS from localhost\r\n Proxy-Connection: close\r\n Next Frames #*) Closing the tcp connexion In frame #3, I can read my correct user and password. I also opened a discussion on the rsync user list, but no answer for the moment. I'm ready to give more trace or debug if needed.

Rsync is not passing the authentication details on in the Proxy_Authentication headers properly. You could trace the HTTP request sent by rsync and try to figure it out. It's probably an issue that needs discussing on the rsync user lists. Amos -- Please use Squid 2.6.STABLE20 or 3.0.STABLE5
