[squid-users] Bypassing proxy authentication

[Julian Pilfold-Bagwell]

Hi all,

i have a squid proxy server (v2.6.STABLE21-3.el5) running on CentOS 
5.4.  It's set up for NTLM authentication for use with Windows XP and it 
works perfectly.    However, I have a piece of software that needs to 
contact a stats site and I've tried running proxycfg - p 172.20.0.5:8002 
and have also added an acl called stats and set an http_access allow 
rule for the acl but it still doesn't contact the site.  Ohter sites 
that we've had problems with have identical ACLs and rules and these 
work so I know the syntax is correct.

The software manufacturers only know Windows proxy servers and don't 
seem to be able to help much.  Is there any way I can bypass the 
authentication or is this implied by the access rule.

Thanks,

Julian PB
