With auth enabled we do get auth failed messages on the programmer's side.
Any way to test if packets are really coming back? Apart from running a
traffic monitor, of course.


You can assume there is a responso of some kind sent to the requestor, but 
if you wand to be really sure there is not much else besides a traffic 
monitor.

This is authenticatin required by proxy.

Btw, which Squid version is this, and what authentication scheme are you 
using? I would expect that to be a TCP_DENIED, not a TCP_MISS...



but nothing seems to get back through to the programmer's machine on the
lan.


Most likely it does, but his www library does not indicate authentication 
required errors in a sane manner.



If we try it without using the proxy, thus via gateway (with nat) it works.


Yes, obviously, as you then do not have a proxy requiring authentication 
in the middle.



If we connect to the site with a normal browser through proxy we do get
there as well.


Most browsers know how to authenticate proper.
