Squid not sending input into external_acl_type helper script

[Ajb B <ajb23@xxxxxxxxx>]

So I have a external_acl_type helper script and it's not reading input from Squid.

Here it is:

redis-cli HSET 'test' data 'SCRIPT DID RUN' >/dev/null

while read -s line; do

  redis-cli HSET 'test' data 'LOOP STARTED ' >/dev/null

  printf '%s\n' 'OK'

done

And here are my Squid configuration directives:

external_acl_type ex_parent_proxy %LOGIN /etc/squid/squid-access-control.sh

acl parent_proxy_1 external ex_parent_proxy

http_access allow parent_proxy_1

When I test it out, the 'SCRIPT DID RUN' value does get set in the database. However, 'LOOP STARTED' does not. Any idea why? I have used helper scripts for the 'auth_param basic program' configuration directive and it works just fine.
