Good morning,

I am having an issue with squid 2.6 stable 19.

Many video players on the Mac are not proxy aware, and fail to show a login 
screen for the new video window.  Is there a simple way to resolve this from 
squid, rather then putting an an acl in for each domain, with an allow?  We do 
require all users to
authenticate prior to access.

A number of applications on OSX do not natively work behind an authenticating proxy (iCal, Backup, iDisk and the System Updater as far as I recall). The only ways to work around this is with "http_access allow" on Squid before authentication is required, or a installed application on the client such as Authoxy (http://www.hrsoftworks.net/Products.php) or Squid Man (http://homepage.mac.com/adg/SquidMan/index.html).

Yelling at Apple to fix this oversight might be a good track to take in parallel.
