Basically, what happens is that squid prompts for my username and password, yet, after I enter them, squid just sits there. Error log / access log shows nothing, and the browser eventually times out. This is with squid 2.5-STABLE9
The usual cause to this is if you forgot to disable output buffering in your custom authenticator program. The UNIX libc by default buffers output.
In perl:
$|=1;
In C:
setbuf(stdout, NULL);
Other languages may require similar actions.
Note: shell scripts do not buffer their output.
