When I invoke squid from terminal with debug messages it was showing the following message. temporary disabling ( Proxy Authentication Required) digest from 10.65.0.32 Ah this is a background cache digest request. Squid does not have any credentials of its own to pass out. To prevent these you will need to add the options: no-digest no-netdb-exchange These options I have tried, but still it didn't work for me. How do I get rid of this. I tried all possible ways that I could from googling, but nothing was working. I have even tried putting my proxy username and password in squid.conf file itself (with login=uname:passwd) but this also didn't work. please I am so grateful to you if you can solve this problem of mine. Thanks Jyothi Hmm. What type of authentication is the parent requiring? I didn't get your question, type of authentication in the sense? It needs a username and password, as it is provided by insti(proxy.iitm.ac.in) I don't have much details of it.

[squid-users] trigger rediredt_url_program if there is a change in ip address
Hello All, I want to use the redirect_url_program when there is a change ip address of my system. Is it possible to detect the change in ip using squid proxy? Let me put in other words, Can squid proxy communicate to any of the system applications, lets say a shell script? Thanks
Re: [squid-users] trigger rediredt_url_program if there is a change in ip address
change in the system ip address. I am working on a project which detects the change in the connection (wired to wireless and so on) and based on the change, I need to take a appropriate action. Lets say I switch from WiFi to mobile broadband while browsing, I want to get a lighter version of web page.

IP of the Squid proxy, or IP of the client station? And for how long do you want Squid to use the url_rewrite_program? And why? Regards Henrik
Re: [squid-users] trigger rediredt_url_program if there is a change in ip address
How often the squid.conf file is read by the browser? is it on every load of page?

Thanks There is a squid.conf option for Windows machines (only). On non-windows each network interface has hooks that triggers to run a set of scripts. One of which can be a script to reconfigure Squid. Amos -- Please be using Current Stable Squid 2.7.STABLE9 or 3.1.3

Re: [squid-users] squid crashing while trying use url_rewrite_program
Sorted out! Perl script was not set to executable permissions. But I am facing some other problem Forwarding requests to other proxy cache_peer 10.65.0.32 parent 3128 3130 no-digest login=PASS As suggested in FAQ I have added this line squid.conf. 10.65.0.32 needs authentication. When I configure my browser with squid and forwarded requests my proxy the authentication window keeps appearing, any idea what the problem might be?

Re: [squid-users] how do I ensure that my request is passing through squid proxy
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?

Re: [squid-users] how do I ensure that my request is passing through squid proxy
The following lines I have added to the squid.conf file cache_peer 10.65.0.32 parent 3128 3128 no-query login=PASS prefer_direct off My institution proxy also connects to the port 3128. A window keeps appearing for authentication even after entering the username and password. Is there any thing with the lines I have added?

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.
