Are there anyone out there who has configured squid to perform this kind
of cacheing before? i.e. squid on wccp with cisco router while providing
http authentication to end-users.
If there is none and I wish doing so, would it really be possible?

Thanks for the comment. I was away for a while.
You have mentioned that such authentication method is somewhat
proprietary since it is not following standard. If I only need to
cache http (port 80) and none other ports, this authentication method
should still be sufficiently good. right?

I see. Do you think the design where cookies were used to keep track
of per-user authentication details at client browser is a feasible
and good design?
It is a hack. And fails badly for all other applications than
browsing as it is not a standard authentication method so none of the
methods of specifying the proxy account in other applications works.
