Hi, Yes I understand that. However as the direct traffic to port 443 happens on the client computer and not on the server I don't have access to every client computer to block access to port 443 by a firewall and I don't think that is necessary. The user may or may not use the proxy, it's up to the user. However if he has configured the browser to use a proxy and the browser does not use the proxy (although user refused to authenticate) that's the problem. As I however said I first thought it was a browser problem, but it appears not to be as I can reproduce it on different browsers. May be it is not only a squid problem, it may be both a browser and a squid problem, I don't know. Regards, Milen
