Greetings, The following patch is for Squid 2.5-STABLE10. It makes the username returned from an external acl command part of the request data structure and encodes it using base64 between cache peers. This is for auditing purposes so that subsequent caches in the chain can see the username making the request in their logs (such as DansGuardian). It's more efficient, for example, to do this instead of making two separate ident requests.
I'm posting this to both the Squid-users and DansGuardian mailing list since I think that it will be useful for both groups. This is functionality I've wanted for a long time (see http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200310/0625.html).
