After thinking this over a bit more your approach of translating to utf8 at input is better. But even better is to do it in Squid before the request is sent instead of each helper.. I have now committed a change adding generic UTF-8 transpation to Squid-2 & 3, adding an auth_param basic utf8 parameter to enable UTF-8 translation of usernames & passwords. http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/HEAD/changesets/12298.patch Regards Henrik
