Thanks! I got your point. I have one more doubt, my institution proxy needs
authentication. When I configured my browser with squid proxy, it was asking me for
uname and password. when I enter my institution username and password it is not
accepting. When I saw in FAQ it shows how to authenticate for squid, now I have to
forward to other other proxy so how can I resolve this? ( means how my insti proxy
resolves the authentication when the request is coming from squid)?
The cache_peer option in squid.conf which points Squid to the
institution proxy will need to have the "login=PASS" (exact text) option
set.

Thanks for the quick reply. I am using firefox, there I can only specify one proxy (that
is presently institution proxy), may be I don't know, could you please elaborate?
Perhapse I misunderstood you.
You said you already read the FAQ titled "How do I configure Squid
forward all requests to another proxy?"
That FAQ explains how to configure Squid to use the institution proxy.
Your browser only needs to be configured for the one single proxy it is
talking to. Squid.

Hi,
I have a doubt, I am using a proxy enabled network (which is provided by my
institution).
My browser is configured with the corresponding proxy in order to access the web
pages.
I want to use squid proxy in order to serve some of my needs. I can't configure
browser
with the squid as I need to my institution proxy to access the web. So all my requests
first should go to squid proxy then to the institution proxy. I did this by
reading the
faq (How do I configure Squid forward all requests to another proxy?). But now my
doubt
is how would I ensure that first my request is going to squid and then to my insti
proxy
(as my browser is not configured with the squid)?
Since that Squid is using the Institution proxy you should configure
your browser to use the Squid.
So you end up with this:
Browser -> Squid -> Institution Proxy -> Internet
