Good morning,
I am having an issue with squid 2.6 stable 19.
Many video players on the Mac are not proxy aware, and fail to show a login
screen for the new video window. Is there a simple way to resolve this from
squid, rather then putting an an acl in for each domain, with an allow? We do
require all users to
authenticate prior to access.

A number of applications on OSX do not natively work behind an
authenticating proxy (iCal, Backup, iDisk and the System Updater as far
as I recall). The only ways to work around this is with http_access
allow on Squid before authentication is required, or a installed
application on the client such as Authoxy
(http://www.hrsoftworks.net/Products.php) or Squid Man
(http://homepage.mac.com/adg/SquidMan/index.html).
Yelling at Apple to fix this oversight might be a good track to take in
parallel.
