Good morning, I am having an issue with squid 2.6 stable 19. Many video players on the Mac are not proxy aware, and fail to show a login screen for the new video window. Is there a simple way to resolve this from squid, rather then putting an an acl in for each domain, with an allow? We do require all users to authenticate prior to access. -Steven E.
A number of applications on OSX do not natively work behind an authenticating proxy (iCal, Backup, iDisk and the System Updater as far as I recall). The only ways to work around this is with "http_access allow" on Squid before authentication is required, or a installed application on the client such as Authoxy (http://www.hrsoftworks.net/Products.php) or Squid Man (http://homepage.mac.com/adg/SquidMan/index.html).
Yelling at Apple to fix this oversight might be a good track to take in parallel.
