I fail to see the connection (no pun intended). So what if IRC uses UDP?
TFTP also uses UDP, that doesn't mean IRC can use TFTP to connect too.
All I'm pointing out was that Squid is not designed to handle IRC and that
he best look at SOCKS for that kind of support. Admittedly of course, one
can make it appear that a user is from the Squid proxy/cache by using the
CONNECT method that Squid supports by default in its squid.conf (a whois on
the nick shows the IP of the Squid box). Maybe that's what you mean. In
that case, it is not limited to IRC since the CONNECT method is used for SSL
on port 143. Obviously, Squid sees that it's SSL and therefore does not
cache or proxy it and lets it pass thru.
