Hello, a user of mine is complaining that with IE 8 he cannot open URLS like ftp://user@xxxxxxxx though my cache (the same works quite well with chrome) on his Windows seven PC. He gets: ERROR Cache Access Denied -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- While trying to retrieve the URL: ftp://user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ The following error was encountered: .Cache Access Denied. Sorry, you are not currently allowed to request: ftp://user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/from this cache until you have authenticated yourself. You need to use Netscape version 2.0 or greater, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0, or an HTTP/1.1 compliant browser for this to work. Please contact the cache administrator if you have difficulties authenticating yourself or change your default password. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Generated Tue, 01 Jun 2010 12:52:17 GMT by belisama.example.it (squid/2.7.STABLE9) Instead of the request of user and password that comes with Chrome. Using FireFox 3.6.3 he first gets a warning window saying "wou are about to access www.example.it as user user, is that what you want?". By clicking "OK" he gets: ERROR The requested URL could not be retrieved An FTP authentication failure occurred while trying to retrieve the URL: ftp://user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ Squid sent the following FTP command: PASS <yourpassword> and then received this reply Login authentication failed Your cache administrator is noc@xxxxxxxxxxx Generated Tue, 01 Jun 2010 13:04:25 GMT by belisama.example.it (squid/2.7.STABLE9) Is that normal?
